The records on Ancestry so far only go up to 'H'. And then a lot of the records were lost during WWII bombing raids. See here British Army WWI Service Records, 1914-1920 - Ancestry.co.uk (http://content.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx=List&dbid=1219&offerid=0%3a7858%3a0) So you may have to wait a while and keep your fingers crossed! (both my Grandfathers surnames began with 'W' too!:()
