Trivia/any other information:

A huge thank you to his relative who contacted us to offer some corrections to our database entry and to share that

“He was a chemist by training and appeared to enlist in 1915(think army number was 113072).

The service records are quite damaged, but it appears he went to France in 1915 but then transferred to GBD.”

“After the war he returned to Porthcawl in South Wales, and seems to say he was part of the Special Brigade in the Royal Engineers.”

A huge thank you to her for sharing this with us and that Brynmor
