Found him

Private 24217 John Ronald Bearpark, Yorkshire Regiment. His WW1 service record is rather hard to read.
Anyway, he enlisted at Stockton on 10 November 1915. He married Edith Grace on 30 Dec 1917 but had no children by the time of his discharge. Given the coin he used for his dog tag, it won't be a surprise that he was posted to France on 30 September 1916 and served there as far as I can see until demob on 12 February 1919.
Aha, now I found a more legible front page... he was 18 years 4 months at enlistment, which would make him born in 1897. He lived in Appleton Wiske near Northallerton in North Yorkshire and was a bricklayer in civilian life.
On discharge he had evidently been promoted to lance-corporal. Previous to that, on 18 April 1918 he suffered a gunshot wound to the left wrist and was evacuated to England for treatment.
