Hi Mark:
Yes you are right my dad did volunteer for service overseas.
I will try to copy what is on his service records, it is hand written and hard to read. Here goes:

Where I have ? that is because I couldn't make out the word or letter or number.
So that is what is on the service records. Hope you can decipher what it means.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing back.
Cheers...Dianne
