Gosport is a military place - could he have been abroad with the army?

Could some kind person see if they can find Ferdinand Alexander Martin in the 1939 register please........or anywhere after 1911!

He was born in Southwark on 12 November 1888 (date given on schools admission register) to Francis and Eliza Martin. He is with his family in the same area in the 1891 and 1901 censuses and in 1911 is a boarder with a Bailey family in Sheffield. I have no idea why he went to Sheffield; there is no family connection there. He is a confectionery sugar boiler.

After 1911 I lose all trace of him. There is a marriage of a Ferdinand J A Martin in Wandsworth in 1923 but the extra initial J makes me think this is not him. There is also a very likely death in Gosport in 1968.

Any help in finding this man after 1911 would be much appreciated.
