Or

In Ancestry.co.uk - War Diaries, France, Belgium and Germany go to the Browse box on the right. Select Divisional Headquarters - 42 Div - Piece 2647/1. It starts in early 1917 when 42 Div arrived in France.

I always used to use the method suggested by J but recently my Ancestry has been playing up. I've tried uninstalling Chrome and using microsoft edge but it's just the same. It keeps throwing me out and/or going American and when I do a search the names are no longer in alpha order. I think they are trying to merge Ancestry.co.uk into Ancestry and put all the military in Fold 3. Were it not for the War Diaries I would be in FMP like a shot.
