Can anyone help research a soldier of the DCLI pre 1917?

I've been trying to research a soldier who left the DCLI in 1917.
I know the medal collectors and militaria peeps seem to manage it but I can't seem to find him.
I can't even seem to find his medal card in the national archives.

Problem is I only have a first initial.

Company Sergeant Major E.Osborne. 2-4 Battalion Duke Of Cornwalls Light Infantry. Left the battalion in 1917.

I have something that was presented to him when he left (not a weapon).
