It's a long shot but the closest match I could find was James Lang married to Lilian...living in County Down, Ireland and he was a Captain in the regular forces..born in Canada in 1875 ...you can carry out a free search here;

Hello Carla
Thank you for the information on James C Lang. I have downloaded the image of Helles and register. I am not certain that your J Lang's marriage  is my one. I was hoping he would have been a Border man. I will keep searching as I have just started my search on this person.  Eneri.

Hi Eneri....This probate record matches the death date, name and regiment that you gave us to work on....so that makes the marriage correct.

The text is a bit mixed up but the dates are there -

James Corbet, captain K.O.S.B., born 29th Aug. 1874, killed in Gallipoli, ,,,,,,,,,,,, 12th July 1915

Good find....The only match I found for him in the UK him was on the Irish 1911 census as being born in Canada....so it all fits.
