Commonwealth War Graves Commission - new data
Posted: 14 Jul 2014 14:35
The CWGC has just started adding some information to entries on its Debt of Honour Register.
I was tracing a WW1 soldier from Liverpool, thought to be buried at Everton Cemetery (Long Lane) and found his entry which showed the regiments he had servd in, date of death and widow's name and address. I then found the additional 'windows' one of which was merely part of the list of war graves in that cemetery, but the other showed in a 'remarks' column that the soldier had been at Druids Cross Military Hospital, Woolton, probably where he had died.
For those researching WW1 deaths, this could provide extra information not available until now.
