    3. Hello, Jack, I obtained a death certificate for my great uncle who was killed in the 1st WW. I applied to the General Register Office. The certificate shows his regiment:his army number:his rank:his name:his age:Country of Birth:date of death:place of death:cause of death was killed in action. The place of death was shown as France. This was incorrect as he was killed at Hooge Crater which is in Belgium. When I queried this with Southport they told me that it was the theatre of War that was shown-France/Flanders so all the fatal casualties were shown to have died in France. This was 2001, they may have changed things since then! Hope this helps.

They have a special index for those killed whilst on active service. Essentially the same information, plus added detail, is available free from http://www.cwgc.org/ if you don't really need a certificate. Keith Wellington, NZ
