Many thanks to all  who replied; I've now managed to get the right detail from the GRO Army Deaths  list and have now ordered the requisite death certificate. Then it'll be off to get the service record.

But if you do want a day trip to look at the GRO fiche, the complete set can be found at the Library of Birmingham

I visit Birmingham city centre regularly so that sounds like my best option. Thanks for t he help.

Welcome blackpoollad. You don't need to provide a death certificate if he died serving. They already know that from their own records.

Thanks - I didn't appreciate that - just that I got told by a local historian that the army are particularly sticklers for the "rule".

First time poster here..........I know about the death certificate requirements to get a Army Service record and also know I need to get access to GRO War Death Army Other Ranks (1939 to 1948) to be able to order such certificate. I've ordered direct from GRO for many other family BMD certificates but I don't have FindMyPast access to get at these records. Can someone point me in the right direction of perhaps being able to view on microfiche somewhere (in the West Midlands) or perhaps even get a Vol/Page number for me?
