THE BELGIAN WAR DEAD REGISTER NEEDS HELP

The War Dead Register lists some 58,000 war victims. However, information about some of them is quite limited. As sources are often scant, their backgrounds cannot be reconstituted.

Local researchers are often interested in these war victims. They therefore possess precious information that might help us complete the War Dead Register.

How does it work?

1. On the home page, enter the word info in the "cemetery" box. You can combine this with other search options such as place of birth, date

2. Locate a victim in this list through the War Dead Register and find out which information elements we are looking for.

3. Send an email to wardeadregister@warheritage.be if you possess additional information.

We can complete the War Dead Register with your help.
