World War One / Private William Grant - Killed in action 07 November 1914

Hi,
I am trying to pin down where exactly my Great uncle died on 07/11/1914.
He was in the 1st Btn Hampshire Regiment, his army number was 6984, he was 27 years old. The accounts I have been able to find are pretty much generic and his battalion seems to have been between battles. So my question is what was he doing on the day he died, where were they? He is remembered at the Ploegsteert Memorial. Does anyone have access to the Hampshire Regiment diaries, or know how to get them?
Thanks
