Seeking Grandfather's Unit History in World War I

The archives question is out of my scope but you might find this interesting.

An online search came up with a few sites that may give you some information, though of course not like the Archives’ holdings.  I did a quick online search for the 30^th Division or 117^th Infantry Regiment unit history but didn’t see one.  You may want to check occasionally to see if one gets put online.  Just recently my great-grandfather’s WWI unit history was put online and it gave me a lot of information.

Here are the links to the sites:

This unit history mentions Company C
