Other: Son of Herbert Walter and Beatrice (SMITH) of Liverpool, England Service men and women WW1 plus those from Australia and New Zealand WW2, Canada and the United Kingdom WW1 including those killed in action These lists have been compiled from data available at several web sites. The information for Australian, Canadian and New Zealand service people is reasonably correct and complete. With the United Kingdom records there are gaps due to some paperwork having been destroyed by fire, and general lack of co-ordination within UK military circles to maintain the records during and following WW1. Some soldiers are listed more than once having had more than one service number allocated to them. Finding out who these ones were is a time consuming task set down for the future.. The lists are arranged in the following order: Australia WW1 Australia WW2 New Zealand WW1 New Zealand WW2 Canada WW1 United Kingdom WW1 United Kingdom & Canada Flying Corps WW1 Royal Navy WW1 Records for United Kingdom WW2 appear to be closed until after 2050.
