Is it possible to search for someone based on where they were stationed at during WWI?

Sorry if this should have been posted in another sub.

Basically, my Great Grandmother was conceived during WW1 out of wedlock when her mother was 16 years old. I know the time period of the conception and where the gentleman in question was stationed at, and a vague idea of what his name is, and what branch of the military he was in.

With this information, can I cross reference and narrow it down, and possibly find out more about him? My great grandmother was fed a bunch of lies about him; I assume he was married at the time while stationed somewhere else and the family had no desire to disrupt his family life.

You might want to take this to /r/genealogy. They can probably help you more with this.
