First WW records. COMPLETED!

Post by johnny1588 »

I'm trying to obtain information about my Great great grandfather. He was a casualty in WW1. I managed to get basic info from ancestry: regiment/rank, that sort of stuff.I need a pointer about where should I be looking for more detailed information? ie where and how he died. Is this kind of info even kept on record?

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
