Circumstances of Death
| We are trying to establish how Fassett died. His register of effects states that he was "found dead in Pieta". His death is register with the General Record Office in their GRO Army Death Indices (1881 To 1955) under 1918 - DARM - Page 16 - Line 91 and we are attempting to obtain the certificate.
