I am assuming you would like to find Service records etc
WW1 Army records are on Ancestry, if you have not already done so, ask for a" look up" giving all the details you have.

But note that only 30% of these records have survived so its a question of luck..

if you have already requested this and nothing found i can only suggest you try the particular regiments museum etc that's if they have one.

Another place is to try on The Great War Forum, just google it they may help you.

If served in any of the Guards Regiments,you might find records here at the appropriate Regiment


The Guards.
The Guards regiments maintained a separate set of records and these are accessible via the Archivists of those regiments, all of whom can be contacted at the respective regimental headquarters at
