There isn't a free site........as far as I know

Did he survive?

When was he born?

Why don't you just ask for a lookup?

Only 30% of WW1 records survived, anyway

Ancestry has the surviving WW1 service records.

Ancestry offers a 14 free trial or most libraries these days have an Ancestry subscription available for their members to use when visiting the library.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.
