I looked on Ancestry but I couldn't find Edward Sadler but I found an Albert Edward Sadler aged 22 in 1916 born Staffs.

His grandmother is named as next of kin, Ellen Sadler.

A lot of the WWI records were damaged or destroyed in bombing in WW2, so you can't really rule out the possibility that he did enlist.

I know that 3 of my Grt Uncles, and OH's Grandfather did serve, but have only been able to find one page for one of them, and that was badly damaged.
