	Hi Duncan I got my GGGrandfather's from the 1837 site. If you look on CWGC site (helps if you know service number) and get the details, it's quite straightforward on 1837. The info you get is basic, but at least its a certificate. Regards Patricia

	Hi I presume you've gleaned what you can from: http://www.cwgc.org/cwgcinternet/search.aspx and the service record in the National Archives? There was another thread on a similar topic where it was remarked that, if you already knew the date and general circs of a WW1 in-action death, you wouldn't find anything significant on the certificate. I guess that may not always be true. Christine
