My grandfather fought in WW1 together with his three brothers. Between them they fought in most spheres of the war including The Somme, Ypres and Gallipoli. All of them survived and lived full lives after the war, although nobody knows the scars they carried. Their names were Frederick, Harold, Percy and Sidney Gaskin. They served with Kings regiment Liverpool and Cheshire regiment. If anybody has any information that might help my tree I should be very grateful.

If you can tell us what information you already have, we will then know what further information you are hoping for. There's no point in our telling you things you already know!
It sounds as if you have their military records. Is that the case?
Are you wanting military information, or other records of their lives?
When and where were they born?

If I've figured it out correctly, this is Frederick's marriage:

There are many pages of information in his record. If you don't already have an Ancestry subscription, you should sign up for a free trial, and look at the record for yourself.
But perhaps you already have all that.
We don't know what information you're looking for.

Geoffrey -
Huge numbers of WW1 records have not survived. I don't see anything definite for Harold, Sidney or Frederick. Anyway, as ErikaH says, Sidney was too young, unless he maybe joined up just at the end of the war.

IF Sidney was in WW1, there's this possibility - but without full records, or even an age stated, there's no way to prove if this is the right person:
