CWGC does not record deaths between 1922 and 1938 inclusive. Someone with a Findmypast account could check the overseas/regimental BMD for his death. Or your local FH/records office may have access to a free online newspaper archives for his death or obituary.

As he was serving after 1920 the MOD will have his service papers. They normally require regiment and number but I believe they will accept date of birth if you do not have the latter. You could guess at RA, but you will be risking £30 as they not not make refunds. So it would be last resort. As he died in service you do not have to supply a death certificate.

Its probably 26 Cabra Rd Phibsboro??

With him been RFC he may have an RAF record as they merged 1918.If and he probably has his record will be with MOD archive so id send the SAR form off requesting it with the medal index card infoTell them you suspect post war service they should hopefully have it..could be up to 6 wks wait though.
RAF records are in AIR files at the NA.Couldnt see him on Ancestrys Aero Club files so he may not have been a pilot.

There is an Albert Brock living in Antrim on the 1911 Census. A grocer's assistant, born Limerick. Age is a few years off though.
