Hi Blinky,

The service records of your ancestor (if they still exist) will be at the National Archives in Kew.As you say he died in the WW1,have you tried searching for his name on the CWGC site?

This might give you the regiment that he served in and then you can search the National archives,here's a link to some info to get you started

Hope this helps,good luck,Mick
