Cpt. W B L Bonn DSO MC (Welsh Guards) WW1
 
Hi All

I am looking for an image .... and some information on :-

Captain. W B L Bonn DSO MC, Welsh Guards.

He is listed as attached to the Prince Albert's Own Leicestershire Yeomanry in May 1918 as a Squadron Leader (Major).

His MC citation is quoted here Don't be misled by the "Offences in The Park" heading):

He is Leigh..... but I can not find any other info on him. So I am hoping someone might have a Regimental Journal image (or other) of the man himself. :)

If you have access to Ancestry the 'Fold Three' files are free at the moment and you will find plenty on your man by searching the British Army Lists 1888 to 1962. He has 12 entries on these lists from Service with the Leicestershire Yeomanry, General Staff Duties and Service with the Welsh Guards.

His Medal index card is as follows.

Regards Simon.
