Greetings from a cold, very wet and grey England.
The War Diaries should help. They give details of daily operations of the
regiments. They make interesting reading as you can follow their activities
over the days and weeks. They even contain maps of the trenches etc.I think
they were on the first site, I'm trying to remember where I got them.
Apparently a soldiers records are mainly still as paper records which are
slowly being digitized. Copies of these records can be ordered. These may
contain his service record showing when and where he fought.
The diaries can be a big help. We were actually able to put up a bit of a
war bio for one of our Canadian men who died in France by using them when
updating a War Memorial on Find A Grave.
