I very much doubt that buying the death cert will throw up any more information than you already have.
It will give number, rank, name, age, country of birth, date of death, place of death and cause of death (usually no more than died of wounds).

Yes, they were, but not listed in the normal BMD lists.

Find my past have them listed and you can apply for a certificate.
