Criteria for Commemoration
Quote:
We commemorate people who served in the Commonwealth armed forces during the First or Second World War, whose death:
occurred during the official war period; and
was the result of:
wounds inflicted or accident occurring during active service;
disease contracted or commencing while on active service; or
disease aggravated by active service.
In practice, this means that:
serving military personnel are commemorated irrespective of the cause or circumstances of their death; and
military personnel who died post-discharge are commemorated if it is established that they meet the above criteria

The CWGC has a Graves Registration Form for both Father and Son , so it appears he did meet the above criteria.
