6 RDF War Diary is digital in the National Archives database and is downloadable for 3.36 . Reference is WO95/4836.

You will get some idea of the activity around the date your subject died,though it may not be clear which day he was wounded if there were several such incidents on different dates as names were not always posted,

This detail not on his Medal Index card so he didn't serve overseas with the Connaught Rangers during the Great war.

For an overview of the Salonika campaign read forum member Alan Wakefield's book "Under the Devil's Eye", or the earlier "The Gardeners of Salonika by Alan Palmer.
