Killed during WW11 - how to find out

[gaygirl]

My uncle died around 1918 and I am wondering if he was killed in service.
His details I have are -
Aflred Walter Payne,  b 1882  Brighton.
Where can I start looking?
This is just a long shot but worth a try.
Thanks.

Hi Gaygirl

You could start by searching the Commonwealth War Graves website http://www.cwgc.org

Hi gay,

as the previous poster said try the CWWGC, use either his christian name or his middle name in your search.  He may have liked to be called by either.  There are a lot of Paynes when you punch in the search, if you are lucky it will give the names of his parents and which war grave he is buried
in.
