Hi Lynn,

I don't have Find My Past or Ancestry but would suggest you put your lookup information on the Records office section, they would be more able to help you but there is a death on the CWGC website and its this one.

Hi Yorkshire

There are a lot of deaths on the CWGC website for both WW1 and WW2 but do you know what year he died or what age he would have been? There are 10 pages of death for J Field who died in WW1 alone.
