He would most certainly have served in WW1, he would only have been 21 at the outbreak of war.

Even if he did not enlist between 1914 - 1916, he would have been conscripted in 1916.

Unless he was:

A conscientuous objector (then might have been put in prison or used like the Quakers, see below)

A Quaker (they were generally used in Medical or back up duties behind front lines) but even medical staff were on the front tending to the wounded etc., and many were killed performing this vital task.

A Reserved Occupation

Medically or Mentally unfit for Military Service

Think that these are all the reason why he would not have served.
