I agree with Elaine - the CWGC entry gave as much, if not more, info about my husband's great uncle who died in France in WWI, but it you want to search for the GRO death index entry online, www.findmypast(.)com has the indexes in their overseas section, from which you can order the certificate in more or less the normal way.

I did order a certificate after finding my ggrandfather on the CWWG site. Ths official cert was written in hand and says killed in action. CWWG was far more informative and I would not choose to order the cert again to confirm any findings, although I have heard of discrepancies!!! Elaine |
