Ancestry has Register of Soldiers Effects.
It states killed in action - France or Italy -widow Lillian.

Pension
Widow Lillian and children Irene Lillian and Eric Onslow
More information such as date of marriage and birth dates of children are available on Fold 3 from past searches but I no longer have access. 

Under Soldiers died WWI it has died Flanders France

He also received the War medal and the Victory Medal

At the time of his death he was serving in Italy with 176 Siege Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery. That unit's war diary may shed some light on the circumstances of his death.
