Hi Val, I don't if this helps but this site talks about an Absent voters list and how you maybe able to trace him through that:
All about the British Army of the First World War. Find how to research the men and women who served, and stacks of detail about the army organisation, battles, and the battlefields.
1918 Absent Voters List
If all other sources are a dead-end for you, and if your soldier was aged 21 or over and was alive in 1918, it would be worth trying the Absent Voters List for the area in which he had his home address. The AVL usually gives his regiment and number.KAREN xx

If he only served in WW1 then his records should be on Ancestry if they have survived - nowhere else.The National Archives, Kew – Research Service Offered
