The most likely source for this sort of information is the War Graves Commission - they have a website and should be able to help.

One thing which has always puzzled me is that very often when you come across a WW-One war memorial the dates on it read "1914-1919". Since the Armistice started at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month [November 1918] I fail to see how it rumbled on until 1919 - some two months or more later. If you can enlighten me on this I would be most grateful.

Because British and Commonwealth forces were involved in the armed struggle in Russia in 1919 the period for entitlement for the War medal was extended.
It covered the period 1919-20 for mine clearance and particpation in operations in North and South Russia,the Eastern Baltic,Siberia,the Black Sea and Caspian.
Statues and Monuments were raised accordingly and covered periods in which we suffered casualties.
