From Soldiers Died:

Born Bethnal Green, enlisted Tottenham. Killed in action. The ammunition truck sounds plausible given his rank and regiment.

Just in case you have not seen it, here are his details from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission: www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=52141

A lovely image of a brave young man.

He would not have been driving a truck. His rank of Driver, in the Royal Field Artillery, means he worked with the horse transport. He may have been driving a team pulling a gun or ammunition limber.

Hello fourteeneighteen -
I have seen this site thanks to Art Nahpro, but thank you for the added information about the nature of his "driving" and thank you for your appreciation.
Now that I think of it I believe my mother said "transport" so perhaps the mistaken assumption was mine.
