It was pretty much a speculative question, Retlaw, and it would certainly take massive time and effort to undertake such an exercise and that would only be the start. There was just a passing possibility that you may have picked up something in the local papers from the period and immeadiatly afterwards. I know that in Kings College Chapel, Cambridge, there is a German list (ex-students) next to the British dead (which includes the name of Rupert Brooke) and there is another example I have seen but at the moment I just can't remember where.
