How do I find out more about a collection?

"Ohio, Grave Registrations of Soldiers, 1810-1955", database, FamilySearch(https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:D6RC-2F2M : 9 November 2020), Harry Perchment, 1905.

This says there is a record for Harry Perchment, died in 1905.

There is only one Harry Perchment (very unique name) and he died in 1919.

How do I find out more about the database?

Thanks

    @starkeypd Here is how you can learn more about a record collection:

    From the collection search page, such as

    https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2155397

    Click How to Use This Collection just below the general description of the record collection. That link takes you to a Research Wiki article about the collection.

    @starkeypd, it is difficult when you can only see the index record for Harry Perchment, as there is always a possibility that the index may have an error in it.

    It appears that Fold3.com holds the card file that contains the grave registrations. There is a subscription fee for their site.

    @starkeypd, just another thought. You might find ample evidence that supports or counters the information that you're seeing in the Ohio, Grave Registrations of Soldiers, 1810-1955 collection.

    Using the FamilySearch option to Search historical records, you can find a number of military records that indicate that Harry Perchment died in October 1918. You can see the Search Results for Harry Perchment via the link below.

    I hope that this will help as you evaluate the information related to your query.
