The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has relaunched its website at www.cwgc.org. As part of the new site the interface for the Search for War Dead page has been expanded - in addition to previous search parameters you can now also search by rank, service number, regiment and even secondary regiment, as well as by honours and awards. From the site - "Future plans include a search on the "additional information" field of our records and more".

I can't see how to search on battalion but if you search on regiment and download the results, battalion is on that download so I was able to use filtering in Excel to highlight a battalion's casualties in the download. (Filter for items _containing_ the battalion number as sometimes it's a company and battalion in that column).
