***COMPLETED***Civilian War Dead

[TimothBStard]

Are there records of civilian war dead for London and its suburbs?  and, if so,  are these complete?

[ScouseBoy]

I am sure there is an estimate.   Each of the war time Boroughs  would have compiled  daily casualty figures.  There would be  some inaccuracies, as there always errors in any beureaucratic system.

Have you googled  Civilian war dead, London?     Secondly,  there would be  Fire Service casuaties.  There would have been  unidentified casualties.

have you tried CWGC ?

have you tried CWGC ?

I  think CWGC  would not normally include civilians in London.

Hi,

I've found civilian war dead on CWGC.   On the search page; the "force" section has civilian as an option.
