HOW TO FIND A
CASUALTY
The Commission's Search Our Records function
provides information about men and women of the Commonwealth forces
who died during the two world wars and the places where they are
buried or commemorated. It also lists Commonwealth civilians who
died during the Second World War as a result of enemy
action.
You should be able to trace an individual, regiment,
cemetery or memorial by putting just a few details into the
entry fields, but before you start, think carefully about the
search you are undertaking and only enter information that is
absolutely necessary.
WARNING - The more fields you use
for your search, the greater the risk of getting something wrong.
Remember that less is more and a FILTER can be
applied to refine the results obtained.
IF YOU ARE AT ALL UNCERTAIN ABOUT ANY INFORMATION -
LEAVE THE FIELD BLANK.
Other points to note:
Searches are not case sensitive. Search criteria may be entered in
upper, lower or mixed case. Searches are not phonetic. The search
will not find names that sound similar to the one you have
entered.
