Maybe he was at Longmoor Camp, if that was there in 1940.  Possibly he was in an Armoured Regiment?

If I have matched the name to the correct ww2 roll of honour he was a lance bombardier in 182 bty 65 HAA Rgt, Royal Artillery

HAA (?)

But, like I say I may have the wrong person!

You never mentioned before that he was a casualty, where does that info come from?

That person is Francis Gerrard Crook, buried in Aberdeen.
It's definitely not an RA badge in the photo though, that much is certain.  :)
