If he died in WW1 he wasn't born in 1834

Hello

I have found a relative John Yeomans who was born in 1834 in Westminister London and died in 1916. He was serving in the army when he died Army details are -

Pte in the N.Staffs regiment and service number was 19376.

Is any one able to look for his military record for me as I would like to know where he served and which battle he died in.

Thanks
Tracy
