The Q suggests an Australian number so I had a look in their archives:

http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/script/veteran.asp?ServiceID=A&VeteranID=96205

His record has not been digitised but you can request a copy (which is easier to do for non-next of kin than in Britain):

Go to:

http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/using/search/index.aspx

Click on Guest

then search by service number.

Then click the Request a Copy link near the top right corner.
