Thread: finding information on someone who might of died during world war 2

tanjat67 · 01-07-2008, 11:08 AM

I was wondering how do I go about finding if someone died during world war 2. His name is William Thomas he was born in 1895 in Wales and died in 1943.

Is there anywhere on the internet for me to look at war records for England and Wales.

Any help or information would be appreciated.

Thanks
