I have managed to find the details of my grate grand fathers death in the 1st world war,the records show that Charles Best army number 7312 died 1915 there are 2 separate entrees in the records both have the same name and service number, they both have the same volume,volume 15 but have different page numbers page 16 and page 27 Is there any way of ordering the specific records, .could these be 2 separate men or just a printing error Thank you Pat
