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.

I hope you can read this, I found it on the net this morning whilst searching for anything on Grandpa Kay.

I found it interesting that he registered his father on this page as being Thomas William Kay instead of Thomas Webster Kay. I wonder why...

Someone came along after and in red pencil put him in the 38th Battalion, why?? Did the 37th and 38th combine together towards the end of the war?
