The"Find a grave" site has an entry for Charles Lissemore, written in 2009 by Adrian Lissamore, which reads " born Charles Lissamore of Dudley, 1 of 6 sons of William and Elizabeth Lissemore who fought in the Great War.
It is listed on the Tyne Cot memorial in Zonnebeke.

Hi i have found in my family tree that 6 brothers all enlisted in ww1 i saw a mention on ancestry that they were in a newspaper called The Herald

If this is the Worcester Herald I can't see it online.
The British Newspaper Archive only has it up to 1890.

Microfilm of the Herald is available at the Worcester Archive

I think Sandra's suggestion is your best starting point:

Have you perused the 24 ancestry tree's to see if other contacts have the neespaper article. ?

So this Ernest might well of survived WW1, who were this Ernest's parents?

As for WW1 records many of them were actually destroyed in the Blitz, so a medal car might be all you can find for a surviving man

Ernests parents were William and Elizabeth and he died in italy

If you have an Ancestry sub, the newspaper article you want has been put on there, seems to be titled "Six sons in WW1"

So it's the Dudley Worcester Herald, November 16th 1918 page 7
