I can't seem to find any other information myself so any help will be a blessing.

Thats a new one on me, that collar badge, can't find it in my books, but putting the two together It looks like Pioneer, Rifle Brigade.
Have you tried the newspapers where he died, there may be an obituary in the local papers which may give a hint to his war service.
You won't find his Service papers on ancestry, W's have'nt been done yet,
the medal cards show several Harold Whitakers in Yorkshire Reiments, and one as Pte. DM2/118264. A.S.C.
