@roselyn2 If you would like to provide his full name and if known, date of birth or year of birth, a search could be made on various databases.

Allan.  I would like to research a lot of men. Best site to get the information.     Lyn.

If they died, Soldiers Died In The Great War. Available in book form regimental volumes or I think on Ancestry.

[Allan1892]

The most common way to try and find the birth place of men that served in WW1 is by the 1911 Census (and double check his declared place by looking at the 1901 Census).

Census returns are held on the main two sites, Find My Past and Ancestry, both subscription sites but are often free to use at you local library.

Meant to add that the Census returns are available free of charge on FamilySearch, a free site run by the Church of the Later Day Saints.
