If someone dies in a war, where is the death registered? |

Deaths are registered where the death took place so maybe they were away from home at the time, |

If a war death occured in the UK it would be registered in the normal way. E.g., say a Canadian solder was wounded in the trenches and was shipped back to a hospital - for Canadians, these were mostly around their base camp at Shornecliffe - so if he then died of his wounds, his death would be registered in Folkestone Rego District, Hospitals for UK soldiers were scattered around the country, so their situation would be similar and their death would be rego'ed in the district where it occured. (This would be true even if their death was caused by being run over by a bus.) |

This soldier died abroad I believe, and I can only find a reference that "Fits" ( age name and date ) in southhampton? |

I don't think the death would have been registered in Southampton if he died abroad. Have you looked at the armed forces deaths on Findmypast? |

You won't find a UK civil registration for the death of an overseas War casualty. |
