I see someone has beaten me to it below in offering photos in the Netherlands, but I am visiting Arnhem in the next  two weeks, so if anyone wants a grave there photograhed I will do my best to oblige.  Need to know before end of July 26th 2008.

At the risk of teaching grandmothers to suck eggs, I discovered recently that the Tank Museum at Bovington has transcribed all the tank corps war diaries and battalion histories, plus personal accounts and tank "packs".  You can get a list of the available documents by automatic reply e-mail from the website, and the documents can be searched for names by e-mail request. Copies are reasonably priced - I got both the 10th battalion War Diary and History for WW1 for £10. Saves going there or to Kew yourself.

I had a look at Army records at TNA recently for my 3xg'uncle James Cass who served from 1839 - 1849. After only 234 days service he was court martialled and given four months imprisonment. He was court martialled twice after that, though not till 8 years later, for short absences, but these only got him 40 days and 10 days imprisonment.  Under "character" it appears to say he was tried for "disgraceful conduct".  What might he have done?

  No, don't worry,I've found it via Google. Working through the helpful hints now before I post my request.

thank you very much, Mack.  I will let you know if I find him or the others elsewhere.
