World War 1 deaths?
« on: Sunday 17 January 10 19:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Can i find WW1 deaths listed in bmd records or are they listed seperately elsewhere, my grandad thinks he was named after an uncle who died in world war 1 but i can't find a death anywhere.

Thanks

Chris

In theory they should be in the GRO records, but I wonder sometimes.

tried the CWGC site?
