Military Hospital Records WW2 ??

During my research which started 12 yrs ago now I came across my Dads name in the No 1 Cdo war diaries as having spent about 8 weeks in the RAF Military Hospital Kowloon Hong Kong.

It has intrigued me ever since what he was in there for. However after much ferreting I am still no closer to finding any archive of WW2 Military hospital records..

Does any body else have a lead as to where I might find such an archive or if indeed they exist at all?

Thanks and regards

Intrigued by your comment "No 1 Cdo war diaries".
My father was in No 10, and involved in a submarine patrol - HMS United, Jan 1943, (under the command of Captain Roxborough - when they sank the Italian Ship, Bombardiere. (He joined the Para later, and finished up at Arnhem, A company, 2nd Btn)
I believe he was also involved with No 6 Cdo.

Where would I begin to search for the war diaries of both No 6 and No 10 Cdo?

Hello Simon

Most Commando War Diaries are held at The National Archives Kew London and can be viewed by arrangement with them:

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

Part of No 6 Commando War Diary is available online here

http://www.pegasusarchive.org/normandy/war.htm

NA Kew is well worth a visit but give yourself at least a day and try to be specific in what you are looking for.

Best regards
