This MIGHT be the Officers file you want at Kew- the man's initials are WW, regiment is right and he was a 2nd Lt





Piece reference WO 339/125893

Hi Annie,
Thank you so much for all this wonderful information, i will try everything you suggest:)) once again many many thanks for your time and effort taken to research this for me. What a very kind and helpful group of people you all are.

The William Westbury Jones on the Medal card was commisssioned - i.e. became an officer. There may well be an officers file for him at the National Archives. They are name indexed on their website, but usually only initial is given and not necessarily both initials and regiment is not normally given on the index either. As you can imagine there are lots of W Jones! You could try searching for him on the London Gazette website which should have his commission and any promotions.

Hi Tempest

I got the names from familysearch and wrongly thought it was the brother
(assuming he had the same name as his father) I am having trouble finding re his marriage etc. thank you so much for taking the trouble to help.

I cannot find William Westbury Jones's army pension record at the moment, many were destroyed in the blitz

where did you get the names Annie Elizabeth Fisher-Richmond and John Henry Jones junior please

Hi Tempest
Thank you so much for the Army information, do you know if there is a way of following where he went etc, I am told he was in India for a while, was wondering if he married there?

Many thank in advance:)

Lynn

Hi Maddie

Hi Tempest

I was able to obtain the information on Vivian Emrys Jones via his obituary in the medical journal, so i expect it to be a couple of years out. Vivian was unusual he had 4 degrees BSc MB CH b and Bs he researched TB in Glan Ely hospital in Cardiff. I have also been told he had a brother who was a commissioned officer in the indian army, but dont know a lot about him at all.

Thank you so much for your reply:)
Edit:- so so sorry its 1895 not the one i put, eeek i hope i havent caused to much confusion.
