His entry on CWG:

Looks like he was a Sergeant at time of death.

His entry on https://irelandsgreatwardead.ie/the-archive/ has him as Corporal.

His medal card https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D2041111

There were a few Den(n)is Cummins who served in WW1. Were the parents of your Denis called Edward and Mary? If yes, his 1907 attestation papers can be viewed on FindMyPast.

Party 2 Name   KATE CURTIN
Date of Event   25 September 1909

The marriage was 20th September 1909, between Denis Cummins, and Catherine (aka Kate) Curtin.
