Obtaining a Death Certificate from Casualty of WWI
« on: Friday 04 November 05 22:52 UTC (UK) »
I have found the death of one of my relations who died in France during the first world war and would like to order his death certificate, on the Naval War Deaths 1914-1921 from 1837 Online it gives the casualties Name, Rank/Rating, Ship/Unit, Year, Volume and Page. Can you order the death certificate from the GRO using the information or how do you obtain one?


Many Thanks,

Gordon.

Be aware that there is no more information on the certificate than on the Commonwealth War Graves Commision site.

I have my Uncles certificate infront of me - it has.

Regt or Number, Rank, Name in Full, Age, County of Birth, date of Death, Place of Death, Cause of Death.

It does not have any information on parents etc.

I have a supplementary question to Gordon's.  My great uncle was killed at Passchendaele in October 1917.  In the overseas deaths/WW1 other ranks indices, there are two records for him: 1917/A3/210 and 1917/A7/268.  Any ideas why he should have two records? 

Cheers

I have some civilians among the war dead on that site who also appear to have two listings, and I don't know why either!  One listing has more detail than the other.
