About the information supplied below:

The information has been carefully checked and extracted from indexes formerly held at the Family Record Centre, London (now closed). It has also been compared against the information supplied by the CWGC. There has been more than one instance where the CWGC had the surname as SMITHERS and not SMITHIES, as is listed by the GRO. However, when they have been approached the CWGC have very kindly checked the entries against their originals and changed their master database as necessary.

Most of the references listed below were found in the volumes in the section marked Death Overseas: War Records at the FRC. If you apply for certificates, do ensure that the death is from Death Overseas: War Records and not from the ordinary GRO listings.

Some individuals are included amongst the civilian deaths of the time and in these cases you will need to apply for an ordinary death certificate.

The full reference is supplied, including District, Volume number and page reference. The Quarter the individual died in is also supplied alongside the year of death for these references.

Those people who lived in other countries - e.g. Australia - are not included here as the references to their deaths are not available in the U.K. If you have information about them, please email (see footer) and I'd be happy to include it.
