Death Certificates World War 2 (General)
Thank you all for your input and suggestions.But I do have quite alot of information on my Uncle Private Verdun James (army no 5185838) Verdon was born in Bream 22nd November 1918 son of Charles Fredrick James and Sarah Jane nee Meek. He enlisted into the Gloucestershire Regiment on the 16th October 1939. After training he was posted to the 5th Battalion Gloucestershire Regiment Territorial Army and arrived in France 15th January 1940. I have narrowed it down that Verdun was captured either at Ledringham or Arneke in Belgium on the 27th May 1940 while slowing the advance of the German army and giving time for the evacuation at Dunkirk. Verdun was then taken to Stalag V111B at Lamsdorf in Poland Now named Lambinowince He was then allocated to a work party, and as he was a miner he was transfered to camp E27 near Hindenburg now called Zabrze and worked in a coalmine. Verdun died 15th July 1944 in the Kappshaft Hospital in Hindenburg Where he was burried .After the War his body was exhumed and moved to the Commonwealth Cemetry called Krakow Rakowici Cemetry.
The reason I was asking about Death Certificates is that the International Red Cross just states that Verdun died from illness, and I would like to know what illness as the Family has never known what he actually died from.
Thank you all again
