There is a great geneology web site called Ellisisland.org
It tracks all immigrants to the united states. If you know his name, you might be able to start your search here.
You can see ship manifests which include a whole bunch of information about the person as they landed in new York. Very interesting stuff!
Have fun.

Manufactured by the "L and B R Company, Britain".
For more info, try the Imperial War Museum.

either type his name into a few search engines and see what it returns; or try http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/familyhistory/ which shows you how to go about tracing your relatives
