Excellent research, I have been collating the names of all those who served in the DLI for WWI, with around 40,000 names with emphasis on the 10th Bn and imparticular December 1917. I have found all the wounded and missing bar one, and the last resting places of the 7 who have no known graves.
Where do you get the information on the types of wounds recieved? I have some records from “Forces Records” but this is sporadic.
Morning and glad you like the site. Sounds as though you have been very busy yourself. The info on the wounding comes from the POW records that can be found on ‘Find my Past’ (which requires a subscription) of the Red Cross site, which is free, but a bit harder to search https://grandeguerre.icrc.org/en/File/Search

Hi Mike,
Mine is just data sourcing and entry. I love the history of the individuals which is more piognent when the soldier is from you home town.
Thanks for sharing
