Hi, Folks,
Seeing reference to the Royal Welch Fusiliers reminded me that I had seen an
appeal recently, which I have copied below -
Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum seek WW1 photos
We at the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum in Caernarfon are starting the
mammoth task of looking for photos of individual soldiers from the RWF who
were killed in the Great War.
We are trying to put each man’s name on display on a screen on the centenary
of his death and would dearly love to be able to add a photograph of each
man to go with his name. It is a huge undertaking as there were over 10,400
men from the RWF that were killed. But even if we only get a fraction of the
photographs we believe it is worth doing. Many of the RWF were from all over
so we are asking please could you help?
You can help us by circulating our plea to anybody who is interested. Many
families have photographs tucked away so this might prompt them to seek them
out. We accept scans or copies and any that appeared in newspapers, which
often carried obituaries including photographs.
We need as much information as possible to go with the photo to make sure we
fit the right photo to the right man – but sometimes a name and date of
death might be all we need.
Email us on rwfmuseum1(a)btconnect.com for more details or to send us a photo.
You can also follow our progress on Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr and Facebook

Hope it catches someone else's eye
