He isn't on the Commonwealth War Graves site as far as i can see.What are you trying to find. Glen

Have you looked for his birth on Ancestry http://www.ancestry(.)co(.)uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx - remove brackets. You need to search the complete images - you have to search quarter by quarter, year by year. Free but time consuming
