Well, the MoD will have his wartime records. You can apply for them  https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-records-of-deceased-service-personnel

The International Red Cross may also have a record for him, which can be requested. https://www.icrc.org/en/archives

 If he was repatriated to UK, then he may have completed a debrief .  That will be located in Kew.

Find My Past has also digitised some Pow records. https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-Records/prisoners-of-war-1715-1945

The National Archives reference given is for the 1914-1918 POWs, here is the guide for 1939-1945 records:

A query to the Regimental Archivist of the Grenadier Guards may be worth trying http://www.grengds.com/static.php?content_id=5  Edit - see later post

Do you know what battalion and date of capture?

If his escape was successful he should be listed on here and I'll have a copy of his escape report:
