(I'm asking because my local military cemetery has a civilian casualty -who goes by the name of "Ernst Lagermark" who died by enemy action in 1940 and does not seem to appear on the lists. I was wondering if he might have been a german refugee or something and was, therefore ,not listed)

Here, for example, is a German refugee:

Whether they have to become UK citizens to be commemorated, I don't know. You could ask CWGC what the criteria is.
