Only on his record which is still at the MOD.  You can apply for his record without his number if that is what you are after as long as you have the death cert and the date of birth etc as in the conditions

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

I thought I needed his number to get copy of his records.

The web site is misleading in that the top page says you need a service number but when you come to the form it says and/or!
