Thanks nicheuk.
I managed to find out what the initial stood for by finding a site and putting in his service number.
The initial E stands for Eustice.
I haven't a clue who he was - certainly not my grandfather as he was George.
So I've been trying to look at grassmoor census as that is where my grandfather lived but not managed it yet.
Also trying to find my grandfather's birth registration so as to see what his parents name were - not managed that either.
It looks as if I'm going to have to pay a subscription to gain this info, which really pees me off as the sites start off by claiming to be FREE when in fact they are not!
So I'm plodding on
