Jefff - Many thanks for a very detailed series of leads and a great deal of information which I hadn't known. I will follow out the websites of which you have kindly attached the addresses and order the 8th Bn war diary from the National Records. I didn't know of this facility. I visited the grave in Boulogne some years ago and found it very moving. I think I am the first and only family member ever to have seen it. I was puzzled by the stone flat on the ground, rather than a headstone. There are, as you note, a very large number of war graves in this cemetery. Do you know if the use of flat stones was to save space, which was certainly at a premium as the war graves are part of the town's cemetery, or because this is a mass grave?
