Generally it could be assumed that those who died after 1918 (the end of World War 1) died from their wounds, however Stanley C. Oxford died in Russia in 1919, and hence was probably fighting for the “White” Russians against the “Red” Communists.
Here is a
chart showing the number who died in each month of the war, where the total is
more than two.

It perhaps isn’t surprising to find that most soldiers are buried in France and Belgium (i.e. the Western Front), but a number are buried in the Middle East. Turkey is the highest, others are buried in Israel, Iraq, Yemen and Egypt.
