My understanding is that they will give no more detail than you would find on the CWGC site - probably less. In particular, the place of death is likely to just be the theatre of war. They were produced some years after to give closure to relatives and presumably provide a final legal statement of death. | |

| Nov 18, 2020 at 9:41 | comment | added | Andrew Truckle | I can see the FMP entries but don't have a paid subscription to obtain the GRO ref. | |
| Nov 18, 2020 at 9:36 | comment | added | Andrew Truckle | Thank you for this. I have also managed to locate some if that info here: findagrave.com/memorial/56022257/sidney-truckle. But i was able to obtain a nice certificate at the CWGC site. You mention Woodford in Wiltshire. I was born in Wiltshire. Where can I find info about this local memorial inscription so I can visit? | |
