Hi Theresa

Could it be possible to Give His Mother's or Fathers Name ? and if he had any Brothers Sisters ?? sometimes the Service records give the Next of Kin

If you put Corbie cemetery in your search engine you will find websites.
His service details are on Ancestry, a subscription website. Many libraries have subscriptions, ask at your local one and you can see his service record. It is quite short with him being killed in 1916.
