I've had a look but your man doesn't seem to be listed amongst those covered. That said the site owner does state that the whole thing is a "work in progress".

Here is the link to his medal card:

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D3423851

He was a private in the Royal Highlanders (= Black Watch), service number 2103, then a lance corporal in the Machine Gun Corps, service number 42394.

He qualified for the 1915 star by landing in France/Flanders on 24th February 1915.
