WWII Death Certificates

Can anyone tell me whether the country of death appears on the death certificate of a UK soldier who died overseas in WWII? The GRO website seems to say it does, but I've heard conflicting stories.

All help much appreciated.

 

It all depends on when it was issued. Usually a year was needed to declare a MIA as presumed dead. This did not mean the place of death was known. After 1945 there were enquiries to recover the fallen. Whenever possible the place of death was added. If found on a former battle field or if there were witnesses, there was no doubt, but sometimes places were found many years later only , or not found at all. If you go on www.CWGC.org you may get certificates for the fallen, they have places of burial mentionned ( which is not always the place of death by the way)
