Cause book (indexed).

The series consists of completed statements that document the deaths of people in the armed forces in World War II who died while on active duty, and who, in civilian life, were residents of British Columbia. While the mandate of the Division of Vital Statistics was to register vital events that occurred in the province of British Columbia, during the Second World War the armed forces completed forms supplied by the province to register the deaths of armed forces personnel overseas, or outside of the province. The Division of Vital Statistics received and maintained these records but did not merge them with registrations for deaths within the province, and did not originally include them in the index to death registrations. The records were microfilmed in 1951; the original paper forms no longer exist. The forms contain personal particulars of deceased persons and the date and cause of deaths. The forms also contain medical certificates of death; these were not always completed by a physician. Although kept separately from the provincial death registrations and not included in the indexes at the time, these records are now included in the general deaths index, both online and on microfiche (GR-3034, Bf44). The information on the computer and microfiche indexes is provided only for the purpose of locating registrations and should not be taken as authoritative. The final authority for all registration information is the registration document itself.
