Hi Paul,
You could do not better than try The Western Front Association.
www.wfa.org
There are plenty of unit histories about, so if you know the particular battalion of their regiment you should look at that. Also trace the division as well as they often have histories written which show how things fitted together.
Men serving inn Infantry regiment (Cheshire, King's Liverpool etc) would serve in a battalion !st, 2nd etc and it is this unit you need to trace first. Battalions were grouped in4s or later 3s into a Brigade and then a number of brigades into a Division. They were then grouped into an "Army".
Hope this helps,
