Record source: GRO War Death Army Other Ranks (1914 to 1921)

Is this relevant? If not, do you know when he died?

http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/545146/GOULD,%20H

GOULD, H

Rank: Private
Service No: 40914
Date of Death: 13/10/1916
Regiment/Service: Manchester Regiment 16th Bn.
Grave Reference B. 11.
Cemetery
THISTLE DUMP CEMETERY, HIGH WOOD, LONGUEVAL

http://www.cwgc.org/ commemorate many war dead. Its worth having a look at the other 'Fallen' with the same names

Ancestry hold the service records for WW1 Army personnel. If you've already searched on there, his may be among the 60% or so destroyed in WW2 bombing
