All of Australia's World War I military records have been digitised and can already be accessed through an interactive link on the NAA website, Discovering Anzacs.
A link to Discovering Anzacs has now been incorporated into the IWM website.
David Fricker, the NAA's executive director, said Discovering Anzacs also provided access to the records of World War I New Zealand servicemen and servicewomen.
Dianne Lees, the director-general of the IWM, said the British website featured a link entitled Lives of the First World War.
"Now anyone with Australian or British heritage can use Lives of the First World War to discover and remember their First World War connection," Ms Lees said.
"The website is a permanent digital memorial, preserving all the stories of British and Commonwealth troops for future generations."
Many of the Australians who served overseas during World War I had direct links to Great Britain, as either migrants or descendants of migrants.
John Simpson Kirkpatrick, perhaps the best known Digger of them all, was one of these.
He was born at Shields in County Durham in England in 1892 and first arrived in Australia in May 1914.
Simpson enlisted within weeks of the outbreak of war, was posted to 3rd Field Ambulance and landed at Gallipoli as a stretcher-bearer on April 25, 1915.
An experienced animal wrangler, he quickly seconded a succession of donkeys to help transport wounded men to the field hospital.
Simpson was killed on May 19, 1915. His donkey returned to the dressing station without him.
A bronze statue of Simpson with one of his donkeys stands at the entrance to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
Another Digger with strong British connections was Oswald Samuel Blows, a veteran of Gallipoli and the Western Front and a keen diarist.
Blows had been born in the town of March in Cambridgeshire, England, and came to Australia before the war.
Oswald returned to Australia after the war but eventually moved back to England, where he died in 1980.
Transcripts of his journals are in the IWM collection.
