  • WW1 deaths - daft Q?

    Ancestry have this list:

    UK, Soldiers Died in the Great War, 1914-1919

    Why do so many of them say Theatre of War Aldershot?

    I've looked up some deaths from my tree, who all died in France or Belgium and none of them have any place mentioned.

    *feels confused*

      Sounds like a typical Ancestry co...erm, I mean confusion!

      Doubtless these records CAME from Aldershot!
