Leslie B Smith Death Help
« on: Monday 24 August 09 14:43 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have lots of information kindly provided with regards to Leslie B Smith who arrived in the US in 1907. His DOB was 3 Dec 1886 Cinderford Gloucestershire England. I know all UK family details but what I am unable to locate is where and a date he died in the US. He was living in Pennsylvania in the 1930 Census. He did serve in WW1 and WW2 but I have no social security number or other military service details/number. Any information is kindly requested.

Many thanks

Andy

Just so no one duplicates any previous efforts, prior threads on this person:

Please note that draft registration cards do not necessarily mean the person was actually drafted.  All men of a certain age were required to register for the draft.  I see that the 1930 Census says he served in WWI, but most men of that age were not drafted for WWII.  Unless you have other information that he was in WWII, I would assume that he wasn't in that war.

No other information about the military (Draft registration cards) He does not show up in any of my UK searches...
