Hi John
No Hubert wasn't a relation of mine I was helping someone find his marriage
and yes his family are American I believe.
I have been trying to find the service records/Medal records of my G
grandfather William James Thomas he was born in Llanelli 1872 and died there
1938. I have a photo of him in his uniform and have been told that the cap
badge is that of the South Wales Borderers c1914-1918
He lied about his age to be able to join and went I am told to France he
was found out regards being to old, but they let him stay as a batman to an
officer.
I have been searching on and off for three years, but haven't been able to
find anything.
I was sent the medal card of a William J Thomas number 1213, but wasn't
really sure it was correct. Today someone has said that they saw the same
number on a memorial in Pembroke
Best Wishes
Sharon

Thank you David
Can I ask if you could possibly find the following for me
William James Thomas South Wales Borders, he was born in
Carmarthenshire
1872 but lied about his age in order to join, I am told that he was
found
out while on the front in France and instead of being sent back he
became
a
batman for an officer.
I have a photograph and some one has told me that it was the cap badge of
the SWB c1914-1918
Any help would be great
Best Wishes and Kind regards
Sharon
