Help with Richard Ernest Bailey

[Helina]

After 1911 I cannot find Richard Ernest Bailey.
Richard was born in 1900 Bristol, his parents were William Thomas Bailey wife Mary Ann Coggins (Mary's 2nd marriage)
Siblings
Lilian Stringer Bailey 1892-1979
Joseph James 1895-1895
Thomas William 1896-1896
Albert Harry b 1902
Half siblings
Arthur William Masters 1879-1879
Frederick Eli Alfred 1881-1917
Ernest 1885-1885
Arthur James Daniel 1886-1886

A sad family number of sons who died young, All born in Bristol

Richard may have joined the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire infantry in the first world war.

I have searched the cwgc site with no luck, the military entry I found on ancestry.

But apart from the 1911 and 1901 census nothing

Any help would be appreciated
