WW2 army records are not online.

Info from the National Archives here:

EDIT:

Ancestry does have some WW2 Royal Artillery Tracer Cards, which give basic info, but nothing coming up with that number in WW2.

What is/was his name?

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
