His CRS10 should give details of the ships he served on, it should be in the TNA Kew under piece BT382/598 if you are able to visit Kew then you will be able to view the file free otherwise follow the “Request This” link give all the details that you have available DoB, full name, Dis A R 294166, last known address etc

Once you have the last ship he served on then you will be able to obtain the ships log crew agreement for the period he signed on, which might throw some light as to what happened
