Since you have the army number and regiment for John W. Flowers you could send to this address to see if they have his records:-

Army Personnel Centre
Historical Disclosures
Mail Point 400
Kentigern House
65 Brown Street
GLASGOW
G2 8EX

It costs about £25-£30 and takes a few months, and you have to be a relative (they send you forms to fill in which tells you exactly who can apply for the records).
