Hi Val,
There is a small area in Lodge Hill Cemetery where soldiers who died locally in WW1 are buried although I expect the majority were returned to their home towns. It was actually forbidden for bodies of soldiers killed in action to be returned to the UK . They were buried where they fell.

What we tent to forget is that the First World War saw the British army swell from some 50,000 men in 1914, to over 1.5 million, at any one time there may have been 250,000 men in some sort of training, it would be unusual if not say 2 % were injured in training as now. Paul
