Then bottom right Select drop down page 3 of 5
Then Select Soldiers Effects
Then enter Surname and Date of Death ( as sometimes Service Number doesn't work)

Are you able to provide the link to this correct information so I can save it to my Ancestry Tree or FTM
The Soldiers Effects image is from Ancestry best saving from there rather than from here. Same with medal card.
