Mainly in England
A good place to start might be the National Archives.
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/british-army-soldiers-after-1913/
More recent records will be held with the particular service: - army, navy, air force.
Living service personnel can contact the service in question to request a copy of their own records.
Regards,
Julie
