Hi, Neil:  I see no-one has replied to you, most unusual.  I'll do what I can but first: do you have any idea about service (Army, Navy), regiment/ship, date of enlistment (he was only 16 when war broke out), etc.  That way we can maybe start a little further in to the process!

Got a baptism for you just in case you don't already have it.
13-10-1898 Francis Hardy son of Timothy- mother not listed. abode 7 Tenter Bldgs. Newark St Leonards.
Marriage Newark, St Mary Magdalene
27-6-1887 Timothy Hardy and Mary Ann Brown.
Probably why no one replied to this....No Army records to be found.

Larkspur is right - no records to be found.  My guess is that they were among those totally destroyed in WWII.  If you know the regiment/ship, you may be able to find some records through that resource - they are usually most helpful.  However, aside from that, I think it's a lost cause - sorry!
