Try National Archive site, check the ww1 medal roll, although as Ade has pointed out before this may bring up several names with the same number but to different units. Select unit closest to where you found button stick. Button sticks were still used by national servicemen up until 1961, having done their basic training they had to be kept busy doing something and polishing brasses and whitewashing stones, coal also, is a good a way as any.

Re: UK Village dump :- Button Stick
Hi guys, Thanks for your help Ade I'd found that ref to the Manchester Reg. Hindsight It's quite possible because the first number is not stamped clearly that its a 5, it was found in Hampshire. If thats the case then it fits 5526856 would make it a Hampshire Reg number.
OKW thanks for the info very useful sadly nothing came up when I tried the search.
All the best.

More likely a 3 if you look at the other 2 5's, they have well defined tops and the curl on the first figure is different to the 5's. The button stick itself had to be highly polished for inspection, a fingerprint on it, even on the back would result in a charge and some form of punishment, jankers.
