Gary_G Posted 25 June , 2019 Share Posted 25 June , 2019 I'm researching Charles Murison (particulars below) and have a question relating documentation of his death. David Murison (Reg. No. 434298) joined the 50th Battalion C.E.F., on 19 January 1915 at Calgary, Alberta. He was fatally wounded on a re-supply mission in Belgium (with the 10th Battalion at the time) and died at No. 10 Casualty Clearing Station on 16 April, 1916. I have been able to get his full military records from the Library and Archives Canada and have located him being recorded as a casualty in the War Diaries. Is there an equivalent of a Death Certificate for C.E.F. military personnel who died in action? If there is, I'd appreciate any guidance in locating it.

RaySearching Posted 25 June , 2019 Share Posted 25 June , 2019 (edited) I understand that official death certificates could be obtained on application, for casualties of the C..E.F to settle an estate, for probate purposes ect Following is an example If one was issued and survived it is most likely to be in the possession of a decendent Ray Edited 25 June , 2019 by RaySearching spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_G Posted 21 July , 2019 Author Share Posted 21 July , 2019 Thank you fellows. I found the casualty cards. That will have to do. As a descendant of David Murison, I'm pretty sure that there is no certificate of the type shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
