BULLYING is the use of force, coercion, hurtful teasing, comments, or threats, in order to abuse, aggressively dominate, or intimidate one or more others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual.

Couldn't see anything for WW1 I'm afraid, maybe someone else will have better luck.

I would recommend contacting the National Archives to see if they have the information.  I tried to do that for someone who was in WWII, and they said the information was lost due to the fire, but they could try to piece together other information.  I never pursued it further, but there may be some information out there.
