Struggling to find anything in the Soldiers' Effects register. There is a pension card with his wife's name on it. (image courtesy of Western Front Association)

Thanks, that's how I found him in the first place.

Struggling with that one too on Ancestry.

Usually something turns up on there but not today.

Is there anything else we can help with?

Regards, Bob.

Thanks for trying, the only consolation is that I haven’t missed something obvious. Spent most of the afternoon down this rabbit hole. 
 

Anyone else come across a casualty with no Effects Register entry?

Something I can't understand is the date on the medal roll is to 24/9/17, yet he died on the 29th April at Arras. He was in D company. My Grandfather joined the Battalion at the same time.

The only explanation I could come up with was a transcription error 24/9 for 29/4.
