	hi all thought some of you might be interested in this site. www(.)cwgc(.)org/(remove brackets). one off my rellies died in the 1ww so thought i.d investigate a little more. came up with this site. i found out what regiment he was in his service number,his date off death and where his grave is(sadly its in belguim). but what i thought was really nice was when i clicked certificate it came up with a memorial to my rellie showing a picture of the cemetary in which he lays. its a nice idea as i have been able to save page and print it to add to my folder. it is worth looking. kind regaurds sam!

	Yes Sam, it's a great site. I, too, have printed off a certificate for a great uncle who died in Mesopotamia (Iraq today), so nothing changes much does it!! You can also find some wartime civilian deaths on the site too. Kath. x

	That sounds like a great idea Diane. What a find for someone in the future to see some real memories of these people from your father. Kath. x
