Trying to get my head around this a bit more. Do you see separate lists for eg embarkation, change of regiment, status etc or do you see this exercise as reproducing a "service" record for all the soldiers, on one spreadsheet, specially as the originals mostly seem to have been burnt.
A spreadsheet might then start with surname, other name; date of enlistment; number; rank; date of embarkation; arena: date of transfer; regiment; number; rank; arena: discharge date; deceased date; absent voter; medals (3?); awards; cemetery; memorial. There could be an identifier in the end columns eg date of birth or home address.
If there are any other people out there with a few brain cells it could be helpful for suggestions/ comments on all this, cos I'm off for a lie down with a cold flannel
