	Hi, How would I find out more about someone that was in the Welsh Guards around 1918/1920? His name was James Gwynn and he was born abt 1901 and was living at 31 Hare Street, Bethnal Green, London in 1921. His occupation is listed as Soldier. This is all the information I have on him which is from my Grandmothers marriage certificate. Before she passed away she told us he was in the Welsh Guard. She wasn't sure if he was Welsh but thought his surname was a Welsh name. Would he be Welsh if he was in the Welsh Guards? I have been to the Library to read up on them but the books haven't helped me. Can anybody shed some light? Thank you Angela
