Hi Dave

I've been researching the British Imperial Reservists who embarked from Australia in 1914 to serve with British Regiments and while many had not been established for long in Australia others had their families out here and their Next of Kin details were in Australia.
As I research them I will post those I find from the Newcastle region in case anyone has any more information they would like to add.

Cheers
Andrew
