Lest We Forget

Hi All,
I am NSW Australia based, so I apologise in advance if my request for advice and suggestions may at first glance seem to be unrelated to Buckinghamshire, but from this distance, I think it is.
At the Online index for TNA it indicates that at the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies there are archival records relating to the Australian Auxiliary Hospital No.1, Harefield Park, Middlesex. These records would perhaps be in the "Roscoe" files.
I am a direct descendant of an Australian soldier who served in France and was wounded 4 May 1917 at Bullecourt. He was treated at that hospital and then stationed there for much of the duration of his overseas duties.
Apparently in the "Roscoe" files at the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies there are many letters, photos, and various issues of the monthly magazine that was published at that hospital during 1916-1918 - with contributions from patients and staff.
I would like to know how to find out more about the contents of those archives, and perhaps check if there is any mention of or even perhaps a photo of my late grandfather. His only daughter is still living (aged closer to 100 years than most of us  ) and so I will not post his surname here (but of course I can pm it  ).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to how I can learn more about life at Harefield Park particularly in the period when Grandfather was stationed there.
Just Moi
