If his service record has survived it will be at Kew and on Ancestry. About 70% of records were destroyed though.

His medal index card similarly will be on Ancestry, or downloadable here:

SDGW has little more info than Gataki posted, other than he was born and enlisted in Dublin and was killed in action.
