Have you looked at De Ruvignys Roll of honour on Ancestry. This contains biographies of casualties in WW1. Sometimes there is a photo.
I found an ancestor in this book who died Christmas Day 1914. You are more likely to find someone who died at the beginning of the war.

There's an example page of a WW1 war returns death register - follow the link near the end of the page at:

Not very informative - English ones are the same here.

If you find the record on the CWGC site you can print out a record from there which is a bit like a certificate.
