Unless he was buried in the place his parents were from, he would have been buried in Tidworth Military Cemetery.

Try this contact address at the Garrison H.Q Jellalabad  Barracks.

I should have added that he may have been cremated, so that is another avenue for you to follow if he is not in the Military Cemetery. I would expect it to be Salisbury Crematorium.

Good evening,

Other possibilities would be Burial at St Leonards in Bulford, Bulford has a very large garrison church but not sure about a cemetery.

Or burial/cremation at Swindon cemetery/crematorium which would be as close as Salisbury.

Yes John, I was on that site, earlier today, but I could not get my head round it, mind you it full of a cold, it seems to be for earlier children, but I could be wrong.
