Can anyone tell me exactly what was done when someone was killed in action and buried overseas? They had to "notify" the widow and family. One in my line.......Leon Boucher, b 23 July 1895, d 28 July 1918 in France, buried Suresnes American Cemetery, Plot B, Row 6, Grave 13 is one I am presently working on. He was killed in WW l. He was a private in the US Army, 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Division. What kind of death certificate, if any, was issued on him? His registration card stated he was married, so someone had to be notified. Was his death recorded in the US and where? Or did they record those deaths in the US in some manner? It was during the time when death certs were certainly being issued when people died. I am just unknowledgeable about the procedure when a soldier died during wartime overseas and was buried there. I am hoping some of you military afficianadoes out there can answer these questions for me, it would be greatly appreciated. J Parker
