Death record for soldiers ...

... who died in the Great War - are they registered as normal if they died when 'home' or do I need to look elsewhere?

Yes there will be a GRO certificate if they died here, I have a few in my local history project, some died in UK military hospitals, others at their home address following wounds or illness.

Hmm, OK i'll have another look but think i will need to order a cert. to see if the chaps mine on what I've found so far, thanks Jill!

Would he still be on CWGC even if he died in this country from war woulds? I would have thought so but never thought about it before!!

Yes, Lin - I have one who is; also one who died in early 1919 in hospital, who is also on CWGC site. He died in hospital of pneumonia - think the latter may have been a victim of Spanish flu.

Ooh OK, I'll have a look on CWGC - didn't think about that as he died 'home' thanks!

[tessie31082]

Thanks, found where he is buried on the CWGC! Might have to send away for his DC as I like to know 'where' my war dead died and what of IYSWIM!?
Thanks again

[Lin Fisher]

Well done Tessie. I've learnt something as well today
