Royal Welsh Fusiliers Museum Needs Your Help
The Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum in Caernarfon has started the mammoth task
of looking for photos of individual soldiers from the RWF who were killed in
the Great War.
The Museum is 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 they only get a
fraction of the photographs it is worth doing. Many of the RWF were from
all over so they are asking for your help?
You can help the Museum by circulating this plea to anybody who is
interested. Many families have photographs tucked away so this might prompt
them to seek them out. The Museum accepts scans or copies and any that
appeared in newspapers, which often carried obituaries including
photographs.
They need as much information as possible to go with the photo to make sure
they fit the right photo to the right man – but sometimes a name and date of
death might be all they need.
Email the Muesum at rwfmuseum1(a)btconnect.com for more details or to send
them a photo. You can also follow their progress on Twitter, Pinterest,
Flickr and Facebook.
