Karen, As I understand it at that time there would have been no inquest as overseas casualties were buried overseas. About twenty years ago, my memory is hazy, an inquest was deemed to be necessary if a body was returned to the UK for burial.

I always thought he died in action but I recieved his death cert a while ago and it states that he was killed in a car accident. I was wondering, would there have been an inquest? If so would I be able to find out the details of the inquest? and where would I go about finding the details? Thanks in advance for any information.
