I managed to get hold of his hard copy service record at the National Archives today. He was enlisted at Blandford Forum as a labourer on 24.10.11. His age was down as 18. A medical on the same day had him as B1. Strangely there was no information recorded as to NOK, home address, previous work etc. The only two movements (entries) were enlistment on 24.10.18 and death on 31.10.18. Perhaps he was hospitalised after the medical and was unable to provide the other details. I took a couple of images of the record and if anyone wants them I can email them.
