There are medal records for a Cecil John Pearce 16052, 2nd Grenadier Guards. 

The 1914-15 Star roll shows that he disembarked in France on 23/11/1914.

There's a January 1915 hospital record (No.4 Stationary Hospital ) showing that he was suffering from frostbitten feet. Age 20 years and 3 months.

Other than that, his records appear not to have survived. Most WW1 army records were destroyed by enemy bombing in WW2.

He was still serving in 1924 so his army records should have survived
