	Hello Peter I'm not sure if you can get death certificates for deaths in action abroad, but have you located him on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site? It has lots of great information. Suzy

	Certificates for WW1 deaths overseas are usually available from GRO England and Wales or GRO Scotland but tend to be much abbreviated compared to the ' normal ' death certificate. Denis.
