I won't be renewing my FMP subs till after the 16th of Feb. Reason been is they will be letting you open the 1939 pages as part of your subs.

Have you checked the 1939 for him as he could be living with his parents or even married by then?

I have checked the Swinton Journal for 1942 (taken prisoner) and 1945/46 (release) to see if any reports were published. Sorry to say I couldn't see anything.
