Hi,

I know it was quite a while ago, but did you have any luck with this? If not, I've found something.

Tried to send in a PM but it wont let me copy/paste it!

Thank you Ken,
I have his death certificate,  and details of his death and burial from the log book, which I bought from the Newfoundland people.
It was only idle curiosity about the enquiry forms, which were mentioned in the log book by the consulate.
What I would really like would be to find is his grave. A couple of years ago I asked the manager of the cemetery where he was buried (Bordeaux) whether the grave was still there. I was really excited when he sent me details and attached a photo of the grave .....but the photo was of a different person entirely, and when I queried this he replied that there was no record of him - even though the first reply gave name, date of death and grave position.
I have tried asking on ancestry boards for someone in France to take a look for me, but no luck.
don't think I'll ever find it now

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, my grandfather died in hospital in Bordeaux 17 June 1924. On the crew agreement , the British consulate in Bordeaux has noted
" an enquiry was held and results reported on the usual forms BD1 & BD3"

does anyone know whether it is possible to find copies of these please?

thanks

Annie

thank you so much Irene - both look fantastic
