If not I can look for you.

Just checked the service records but his have not survived sorry. Only 10% have due to WW2 bombing.
To be honest, I wouldn't know where to start looking for that sort of stuff. My grandma, his daughter, told me a neighbour had recieved a letter from her son saying he had seen Joe Tague being carried up the line after being shot in the neck. The neigbour went around to my great-grandma's house with the news and within a few days the telegram arrived confirming him as having died of wounds. When I visited his grave in 1984, the retired Major who was the guide said as the cemetery was near the site of a field hospital, most of those there had died of wounds. There were several German graves nearby.
It was an interesting trip for me as not far away is the grave of Capt Chavasse. Noel Chavasse ran for Sefton Harriers, which I also was a member of in my youth, was a member of the RAMC TA, which I was in 1984, and his father christened my grandma (Joe's daughter) in St Luke's Church.
It's very good of you to have looked for his records for me. Thanks mate.
