Hi ,
   There was a soldier ,Dave Gray or Grey can't remember which spelling Royal Signals in Germany he was a folk club organiser and singer. Did a charity concert with Harvey Andrews during the 70s. He was a Staff Sergeant AKA The Squire. He did indeed tragically die aged 33 whilst in Germany. The above songs are the sort of subjects he sang about and they did make an LP, that could be him.
