We have the cwgc for research into the war dead; one of my friends is half-Dutch and I wondered if I could find his great uncles for him. Does anyone know of a site that might help me? Many thanks. Helen

If they served in the British Army would they not be included in the CWGC site? Kathleen

Hi everyone, thanks for all your comments! My half-Dutch friend actually told me ww1 so am assuming he's correct! But, in any case, is there something I can find on the net for either war servicemen?
