Hello and welcome to RootsChat.

I found the same information you have given in Prisoner of War records. I also found a record in German which lists him on a Register of Foreigners and Persecutees , with details taken from a sick list

William Edward Church born 2.7.17. Penarth , entry dated 12.7.1944 - the entry is marked "krankenbuch" , which I think means sicklist.

I think this could be your man and there is a birth registration which fits :
William E Church Jul 1917 Cardiff 11a 778 , mother's maiden name SLOPER

I can find this man on the 1939 Register with his parents but I am not allowed to give you the details because of copyright. He has an occupation which seems to fit with serving in the RAMC.

Do you have access to the subscription sites to enable to investigate further ?

Edit - you beat me to it Max but I will post anyway as it may help.
