    I am trying to track down medical histories of Australian soldiers who were injured on the Western Front. From their records they were transported to England and treated at Northhamptonshire and Kettering.
    I have used all my knowledge to address this subject but can only find information on English soldiers.
    Does anyone have any knowledge or thoughts on how I might engage further details about these Soldiers?

    Welcome to the forum. Are you researching someone in particular? I also believe that they were looked after in hospitals in Southampton, Portsmouth and several in London. Having visited Brookwood cemetery on several occasions there are a lot of WW1 Aussies buried at Brookwood which was used as a overflow cemetery for London. Also i think there are some buried at Aldershot though i am not certain on that but can check next time i am there.
    If you are researching someone in particular it maybe worth getting their military record as their records would of survived unlike the British ones which 80% of them were destroyed during the blitz on London during WW2.
