It is the result of the digitalization and indexation of documents recorded by french war veterans administration just after the war. These records are nowadays preserved by the ministry of defence ("Service historique de la Défense").

The "Mort pour la France" distinction is granted under the terms of the invalidity pensions and war victims code.
