WW2 records are not in the public domain and thus the only way* of getting any info is by applying for his service records**. But one has to be NoK to do so.

* unless they were an officer, a casualty or won a gallantry award, in which case one can try the London Gazette etc. As he wasn't an officer nor a casualty the LG/CWGC aren't of any help
