Dear Linda,
As a distant relative and also an ex serviceman with the 1st Battalion Welsh
Guards, I thought perhaps I should shake off the Christmas lethargy and see
what books I have on the subject. So if it helps, here they are: -
Welsh Guards 1915-1965. Printed by Hiorns & Miller, Ltd., Devonport
February 1965. No ISBN number.
Pages 7 - 20 is a Chapter entitled "The Welsh Guards in the First World War"
by Major L. F. Ellis, CVO., DSO., MC.
Anatomy of a Regiment - Ceremony & Soldiering in the Welsh Guards, by Trevor
Royle (To the Welsh Guards 1915-1990).
ISBN 0 7181 3306 4
Welsh Guards at War, by Major L. F. Ellis, CVO., CBE., DSO., MC. (1939-1945)
ISBN 0 948130 52 0
The Welsh Guards, by John Retallack. (Loos - 1915 on page 6).
ISBN 0 7232 2746 2
I hope this helps.
Best wishes, Glyn
Glyndwr (Glyn) Davies,

Hi Lister's,
My Grandfather served with the 1st Battalion Welsh
Guards during WW1; fighting at The Battle of Loos,
Battle of the Somme and the third Battle of Ypres. I
have his war record and a short history of the !st
Battalion during the Great War. I would be interested
in any books written about the Welsh Guards during the
war or to hear from anyone who had relatives who
served with this unit.
Regards,
Linda
