Missing a Soldier, Sailor or Marine?

[suedent]

For missing servicemen (and their spouses) it's worth considering Malta as a death place.

I discovered that my gggg-aunt had died in Malta & was buried in Ta'Braxia Cemetery, Valletta, Malta. She was married to a Royal Artilleryman & died at army HQ in Valletta.

The website has trancriptions of Military Cemetery records, MIs and Chaplains records & may just breakdown one of your brickwalls as it did mine.

BTW certificates can be obtained from Malta online

I found it very easy & the service was very fast.
