Does anyone know if certs were issued /deaths registered by the family for soldiers killed in action in India 1918. If so what sort of delay might there have been between death and registration? Thanks Jan |

There was a thread recently which mentioned the fact that 1837online are presently working on military BMD records. From what I have seen here in Northern Ireland, the timespan for the registration of BMD's of military personnel and families ranges from a matter of months to a number of years. Usually though, there is a reference to the date of death. Have you tried looking at the cwgc site? Paul |

Paul -Thanks for the response. I finally found the soldier this week on cwg. They have him listed as G R G Green Somerset Light Infantry but he is Reginald George Green - they have put in an extra G in a vital spot! I was interested in a death cert to see if cause of death ie killed in action was there as the Somerset L I records from the 2nd Battalion don't record whether killed in action or died of natural causes as was possible up in the Kyber Pass. I am visiting Kew next month so I am hoping his records have survived. Jan |

There is a separate index book for 'War Deaths 1914-1920 Indian Service'. If you want to order the certificate, let me know full details and I will look it up for you at the FRC - but be patient as could be up to 6 weeks before I go! Maz. XX |
