Whilst 94 of the 104 killed in World War I were soldiers, the vast majority of these dying in the trench warfare of France and Flanders, only 25 of the 57 servicemen who died in the Second World War were soldiers, the remainder being airmen (sixteen), sailors (ten) or merchant seamen (six).
The cause of death is known in most instances for World War I, ie, died of wounds, killed in action, but this information is far less available for World War II and consequently most entries for that war only state the date of death.
