Which particular country are you interested in?
by Living Guthrie G2G6 Mach 8 (89.5k points)
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
