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?
