FOAK: Death certs for lost at sea

If a ship was sunk in WW2, would death certificates be issued for all that
were onboard?

 

No, only for the ones that died.

HTH.

 

LOL

Bastard.

 

The bureaucracy would still swing into action, so yes, iwt. Probably
issued by the MO at the home port, at a guess.

 

There's an area on the MOD website that gives names for armed services
killed in combat. Or was this Merchant Marine?

I've got an ancestry sub if you want me to look for a name in
particular.

http://www.cwgc.org/ had one of my relatives details on it and he was
drowned in WW1 on a merchant ship.

Contact the Royal Naval Association regarding your query, would be my
best bet.

We recently had an article in the local paper regarding trying to
locate a grave for someone lost at sea during the war (it might be of
some use to you)

It might also be worth looking at their web-site.

I don't know how useful the above would be if it was a Merchant Seaman,
though, in which case find out where your local Merchant Seamans office
is based?

Yeah, toad_oftoadhall nicked the joke I had lined up ...

 

One assumes it's a genuine query and not a shit joke. Benefit of the
doubt and all that.

 

So, care to declare?

And you failed to read the link, obviously. If you did, it would give
you a fucking clue as to why I replied.

Fugging arsewipe.

I'm still not understanding the whoosh either.

<sigh>

See up there about "only the dead ones"? There it is.

Mined ewe, this is probably a meta-woosh, but it's pissed SP off so it's
not totally wasted.

It's a sad poke at those 'lost at sea' as opposed to those who did
actually die killed in combat, perhaps. The reference WWII does imply
a combatant idea.

Quite a lot of families were mis-informed with regard to the status of
the person concerned, ergo a number of families were just told that the
people were 'missing', rather than 'killed in action'. Or even, in
some cases, 'killed in action' because they couldn't find the bodies.

And some **** on here thinks it's funny?

Aah, I assumed Switters replying "bastard!" meant that was not the case.
