Pampoen's recommendation is probably the best route.
Back in 2006, I was helped by a local WW1 enthusiast who went to various SANDF (South African National Defence Force) archives to copy records for me. Without his help, I may never have obtained the wealth of information that I now have.
The greatwarforum.org is an excellent source of information, and you will find forum members who can help you out.
