I'm not sure what information your require but his service records are available and I could give a little more information if required.The date of his death given on his grave Dec 1916 is incorrect because from his records that was the date he enlisted. He must have died of illness/ accident because he never served overseas. The 3rd Battalion South Staffordshires was the home Battalion based at Lichfield and never served abroad and looking at his service records he enlisted in 1916 but wasn't mobilized until 19th June 1918.
He was discharged to the reserves 8th February 1919 but still must have qualified for the military criteria of soldiers killed or died due to the war.

Adrian
