If it is the right one, I think you'll find him on the Mauchline memorial - lists here:

His service record is on ancestry, his wife was awarded a pension but there were no children mentioned.

Can anyone provide me with a copy of those listed on the war memorial in Motherwell. I am led to believe his name is on that memorial and if there are any newspaper articles on his death?
