Usually military personnel have to have the permission of their commanding officer to get married and also had to have permission to leave camp. They also had a limited number of free transportations per year so he'd have had to apply for a permit to travel.
This was still the case when I married in 1964 and if my husband couldn't get a (free) rail permit to travel he hitch hiked the 110 miles to my home.
I think others will say the same: there was a stampede to get married when war broke out so I'm not surprised.
