Mathew - To be honest, he was in for such a short period prior to his death, that you will find little information in his file other than which I described. Of course, you may still want the record for your family history. In my personal experience, you are likely to find more detail, sometimes much more, in his widow's pension application. There were many questions on the forms, and if she answered them well, you may find a wealth of family information.
