Hi Angela
If you have access to Ancestry try looking in the 1914-1920 UK Army Service
Records. Only certain percentage of these records have survived but you may
be lucky. While on Ancestry you could look at the UK 1914-1920 WW1 Army
Medal Rolls but PROBERT is quite a common name and there will be many of
them.
Another possibility is to get in touch with the South Wales Borderers Museum
in Brecon and ask them to look at the muster rolls to see whether they
enlisted with them. If you need further help you can contact me.

Subject: [POWYS] WW1 enlistment
Hello list,
I am trying to find out more about two of my ancestors - both Proberts. They
were both from farming families, one living in Colva and the other in
Rhulen. At the start of WW1 they were both farming with their families and
enlisted as far as I can find out between 1914 and 1916. As they were both
living in Radnorshire has anyone any idea where they might have enlisted -
Hay or Brecon perhaps? Where were the stations for enlisting around there
and how can I find out more?
Incidentally both boys came back to Radnorshire at the end of the war and
returned to farming with their families.
Many thanks for any help.
Angela
