Hi Mike I see some has been said on the subject by David but don't think he mentioned civilians In WW1 a few civilians (534) were recorded on the CWGC and can be found under Miscellaneous For WW2 under Civilian War Dead you will find 67,156 listed Plus 1,607 under miscellaneous If they died at sea it would depend upon the service they were with or their status at the time but should be recorded on the CWGC Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04/02/2014 23:54, Mike Gould wrote: > Hi Nivard, > >> I suspect they didn't give their lives during the conflict as they > do not appear in the CWGC > > I'm not sure that not appearing in the CWGC means that they didn't die > during the war.
