Hi Experts,

I have a relative 'killed in action' in the first world war (1916).  I've
got the official notification from the appropriate officer, and a
(stereotyped) condolences from the King.  But he doesn't appear to have a
Death Certificate at GRO.

Is this usual/common?

Any advise much appreciated.

TIA

Duncan Adams.

I'm not sure about the certificates but a bronze death penny was also issued
to the dependants of the deceased along with a scroll. The penny which is
the size of a good beermat should have the deceased name inscribed into it.
I know of 3 such pennies, scrolls and condolences from the King for just one
family on my family line.

regards

Stuart Smith

I had a similar problem with my gf.
He was Thomas Maurice Davies, but listed as Maurice Thomas Davies.
Keep looking, it doesnt give much more information than you have already
got!!

There are different indexes of the war dead in bound register entries
independent of the normal series of death indexes for 1914-18.  The
certificates do not add anything though and just day someone was killed -
not how.
