Hi

A starting point would be to buy a copy of his death cert.  It's possible it would show his address at the time of his death and depending on who reported his death - it may give you the name of a family member to work from.

Marriage - there are a number of George A Short marriages but none with his specific middle name

WW2 service - there is no online service info available see link below

Hi

It's only a dead end if you don't buy the death cert.  Although death cert info is unpredictable - it may yield some clues to give you a starting point.

Although born in Cheshire - his death was registered in Greater Manchester but neirher Cheshire BMD or Lancashire BMD have a marriage containing his middle name

Many people dropped their middle name when they married
