There should be an Army death certificate indexed in GRO Overseas Events.  However it may be hard to identify the right one from the index - you will see from CWGC that there were several WW1 deaths of soldiers named George William Taylor in a relatively short space of time.

Also it is unlikely to tell you anything you don't know.  It looks as though his remains were never found so he was deemed to have died in the day he went missing - 24 April 1917.  I have a 1916 Army death certificate and information on it is sparse indeed, telling me nothing new.
