Hi shaner13, you can get the war diary from the national archives, the download costs £3.50 this should tell you what you need to know.

Hello Shaner13,

Is there any particular regiment or battalion in which you are specifically interested?

Regards,

Peter

A very small [or light] point|: the 20th Division was 'Light', not 'Light Infantry'.
