I know it's not what you're looking for, but the CWGC site gives this hit:

HESLOP, F
Rank: Private
Service No: 56792
Date of Death: 04/11/1918
Regiment/Service: East Yorkshire Regiment 7th Bn.
Grave Reference: V. C. 16.
Cemetery: ROMERIES COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION

If you look at the attached documents, in particular, the Concentration, you'll see he was initially buried at:
Sheet 51a, X.28.c.1.9, presumably very close to where he fell.

These are standard Trench map coordinates - X.28 identifies a 1000 x 1000 yd square and the following letter identifies a quadrant, numbered as:

a b
d c

so the SE quadrant. The next two numbers, in the range 0-9, identify a 50 yd easting, then a 50yd northing, in this case pretty close to the centre of the entire X28 square.
For reference, Romieres is in W.21, so he fell abt 7000 yds E of where he's now buried.

-----------------

Ancestry has a collection called:

UK, WWI War Diaries (France, Belgium and Germany), 1914-1920

which contains the war diaries of most infantry units in France/Belgium.
These unit war diaries say what each unit (e.g., 7th battalion) was doing on a day by day basis

I had no idea he was married until i looked up his military career found when he died his effects were left to his wife Lavinia.
Just goes to show

This is the probate for Thomas above, who died in 1950. He died 1 July 1950 at The Steel Works Consett. Administration was to his widow, Elizabeth Audrey Heslop.
