Thank you Tony. So that's why he doesn't appear on the 1939 Register.

Thank you once again. I've searched again but can't find him on the 1939 Register so maybe he'd joined up already. We know he was one of the lucky ones who came back from Dunkirk.

Rather worried about giving my financial details, as I'm not aiming to stay on FindMyPast and there's only a short free trial time (and I'm a bit forgetful).
I don't think you have to give any financial details to create an account to use this free offer on the 1939 Register only. You do NOT have to click on (Start free trial) at the top right of the page which is for the whole site, and always available.

Thanks for this advice, Chris Doran.  As you suspected, I had been going via the Start Free Trial route, but can now see how to use the free offer and have found the information I was searching for.
