Well normally family stories come first but failing that, if you have an ancestry sub you can check SOME of the records for WW1 pensions and medals. You can also check National archives for medals cards.

And there is CWGC for deaths during the wars.

However, youd have to know really WHO you were looking for before you start on any of the above.
