Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums
I think you may have come to us from Forces War records, if so reading this will explain the connection.
WW1 service records are licensed to ancestry.co.uk and Findmypast both of which are pay per view sites but your local library may have one or the other.
More than 60 % of WW1 service records were destroyed by bombing fire in WW11 so it is a lucky person who finds their ancestors records.
This is an entry for your man from the UK, British Army Lists, 1882-1962 and one each in the medal Roll index cars and Award and medals records. I can't see a service record for him.
You can also search The National Archives site for WW! war diaries here
I have moved your post from the Introduce Yourself forum to the WW1 forum.

Hi
He has 2 medal index cards - Medal card of Anslow, Peter Corps: Durham Light Infantry
Reference:

Rank

As an officer and given the dates above, I wonder if he served after WW1, if so his service records could still be with MOD, you will need to write to them to find out.
