Death Certificate

[MrG]

Hope someone can help - would a soldier of the great war who died and was buried in France have a GRO death certificate?

Thanks

Merve,

Give them a call and ask them. My great grandfather was posted missing in Mesopotamia in 1916, and the GRO were able to supply me with a death certificate. Cause of death was stated as "Presumed to have died".

Yes. They'll be in the GRO Overseas Deaths List.

As Kev indicates cause of death is likely to be "presumed to have died" if the body was never found or "killed in action" if it was.

If you post his name, number and date of death someone will look up the index details for you. These are needed to order the certificate.
