Many of the WW1 era military records have been destroyed but many of those that are available are in the National Archives in Kew (London). Some are available on pay-websites like FindMyPast, Ancestry etc

Someone over on the Armed Forces section of Rootschat may be able to give some advice on where to search next.. see Armed Forces (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,300.0.html)
