Looking for any information regarding Thomas Edward Jones, son of Edward and Charlotte Jones, born 1900, at Talysarn in the parish of Llanllyfni in Caernarvonshire. The family story is that he lied about his age and was in the "Bantams" as a stretcher bearer and that he was "gased". he survived the war but suffered ill health and died February 1930. Any help or pointere as to where to look would be appreciated. Thank you

Hello Salimali, around 60% to 70% of WW1 records were destroyed during WW2, but will take a look ...

... Sorry, not seeing anything for him.

thank you for looking. Would like to find something more about him than just the censuses as I am trying to help a friend.
Thanks

Not sure what there is anything to find Im afraid except, census, BMDs and his family history, going backwards?

Do you have anything in mind in particular?

I am at the moment looking for relevant BMD and maybe going backwards. But she keeps saying that they would love to know what really happened to him in WW1
Thanks

WW! records are just not there for him, as Marie posted


You might talk to your friend and find out what he/she wants to find out?
