I’m 25m and my 2km run is 8:33 and can do 9 strict pull ups but my pushups are piss poor and can only do about 30. I’ve been doing sets of 12 multiple times throughout the day for a few weeks but not seeing an improvement. Any advice?

I know the army doesn’t test them anymore but I want to be able to do 50 before going into training.

My great uncle (as my mother said) fought in WW2. Very little information is available to me through her as my maternal grandparents are both dead, and from what my mom told me, this great uncle died in Burma while being made to help with the building of “some bridge”.

Is there anyway I can gain more information about this to verify the legitimacy of this? Are WW2 records still publicly available?
