Using the database Go to www.cwgc.org and select ‘Find war dead.’ Type in the surname and initials of the person you are searching for. This brings up a list of people with that name You will need to use your own knowledge to decide which record belongs to ‘your’ casualty. Think about where they came from and their age if you know how old they were when they died. Record what you have found out about them. What do you know now that you didn’t before?
