Another WWI site...

http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-conflicts-periods/ww1/1aif/3div/10bde/37th_battalion_aif.htm A site I came across detailing some information on the 37th Battalion in WWI. My Grandfather, Walter Kay, began the war in the 37th and ended up in the 38th towards the end of the war.
