I am seeking details on the service of

219638 or 2/9638 Pte L. Wilkinson

My information so far is that he was in the Royal Australian Regiment in Malaya, but I would like to know more -- e.g. which battalion and when. Any further details will be much appreciated.

I didn't spot him in the National Archives but could have missed him. Do you have more details?

No I'm afraid I don't. Which aspect of the National Archives are you referring to? I'm not aware that service records for Malaya are available.
