Hello and welcome
You need to apply for his service records
Get a copy of military service records
Date of birth and death certificate is all you require plus £30
A bit of a wait but will be worth it
Other forum members will be along shortly to advise you further

Regards
Clive

 

Follow Clive's advice and get an application in for his official service records asap, it's a must if you want his full story. Casualty list states he went missing 26/9/44.

 

How come you have that info ?

 

If you mean the casualty list:
