Great War UDF papers are at the SANDF Documentation Centre in Pretoria, so much better and more detailed than WO363 and WO364 for the British Army at Kew, even their medal cards are better than anything in WO372 here.
You just need a researcher to go in and extract what you need, they had closed their doors to the public a few years ago, but, I don't think that is still the case.
Give them a call, at least.
