You may have tried this, but the FamilySearch Wiki may be helpful.
Did he enter military service while living in Ladysmith? Anyway, the town where he lived when he entered the service may have a local veterans organization similar to our VFW, Red Cross, etc. that would have records of those who entered military service from that town.
Good luck with your research,
Ken Smith

Hi Ken,
Thanks for coming back to me. Yes, he would have entered service from the Ladysmith/Durban area. A South African military website has provided me with additional info, so this is great. The UK sites did not have much as he was part of the South African allied force in North Africa. There was a home in Pietermaritzburg (east of Durban) where they looked after the families of WWII vets, discovered my great-grandmother spent her later years there, she lived to 90.
