That Chelsea Pensioner record posted by Yvonne on page 1 is definitely him - if anyone has a sub or credits for FMP, perhaps they could look at the image? Perhaps it would give a date for the record?:

Hi same results I found, held at LMA
sadly not available to download and purchase online,
with such scant info in ref it could be an expensive search!!
