Information on deaths in the UK Armed Forces including birthplace and conflict, is held in the Departments centralised database from 1984 to present. Data prior to 1984 including birthplace and conflict, is held on the Armed Forces Memorial database. Neither database holds information on an individual's final address in the UK.

Information on an individual's final address is held separately in the Joint Personnel Administration (JPA) system from April 2007 onwards and is not currently linked to either death database. Prior to 2007, this information is held in individual personnel files.

A roll of honour is available in the public domain and can be found at the following website: http://veterans.mod.uk/. Whilst the roll of honour lists all of the individuals whose names are inscribed on the National memorial in Staffordshire, it does not confirm the individual's birthplace or whether they died in conflict.
