Can anybody help with information on Isaac Belcher please?
The information I have on the death of Isaac is from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. He was Private 19444, 2nd Battalion, Worcestershire Regiment who died on Monday, 21st May 1917 aged 21, son of Enoch & Mary Ann Belcher (my Great Grandparents) He is commemorated on the Arras Memorial.
I have his Medal Rolls Index Card, confirming that he was Private 19444 of the Worc R.
It looks very much as though his War Records were destroyed during WW2 as I have been unable to find anything for years now.
I have the War Diaries from the battle and also information at the time of his death from a book the Worcestershire Regiment held at Dudley Archives, which ties in with the War Diaries
Now, searching the GRO War Deaths Index Cards, it appears he was classed as a Lance Corporal 19444. As I have never bought this type of Death Certificate, would it be worth me buying and what information does it give?
I look forward to any answers please.
