As Janice suggests, I think that he had a war grave, and was regarded as a military casualty, because he was engaged in Home Guard activity at the time he died. The cutting indicates that he was on his way to his unit for a night's duty when the accident occurred and this puts him in a different category from a normal civilian victim of the blackout.
Did you ever get his name corrected in the cwgc records?
