<<snipped> I wish to rectify this oversight but wondered if anyone on this list can please offer some practical guidance on how best I should tackle the research. In particular I want to find out what action he was wounded in. <<snipped> As I always say - consult The Long, Long Trail web-site on http://www.1914-1918.net/ You already have the gold-dust of his regiments and numbers in them - many people struggle to find even this, so congratulations. Take some time and several cups of coffee to work through the research sections on that web-site and best of luck. His service papers may or may not survive on Ancestry - if they don't, it may not be possible to find out where he was wounded. Adrian B

Sorry to be late with this for Guy and any others looking for info on soldiers. Here in Canada, I have found that with a copy of an obituary, most records can be obtained from our Canadian Archives. Sometimes an obituary notice is unavailable, but there could well be a posting in the Canadian Legion Magazine. As well, of course, a photo of a grave marker is also considered useful. This is also for soldiers of the Second World War. Any info about regiment is also very helpful.
