Default Welsh Guards

Chaps, i'm after a favour. I have two regimental numbers i would like checking if possible. 1932 and 848535, these numbers are on the sliders of two Welsh Guards leeks.
Many thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,

A cursory check of WW1 medal cards found no WG who served in WW1 and were sent overseas under those numbers.

Regards Mark

Hi Andy

Dudley-Ward's "History of the Welsh Guards", available as an on-line pdf:

http://www.ww1photos.com/PDF_HistoryWelshGuards.html

is supposed to have the numbers of all who served in WW1 and I can't find the number there either. Beware, there are about 75 pages and I went through it three times - amazing what CV19 lock-in can do! The book is well worth the read.

Bill

According to Paul Nixon:

https://armyservicenumbers.blogspot....sh-guards.html

he would have joined up between August 4th and September 25th 1915.

Interestingly, WO329 shows 1930 Guardsman Aneurin Williams 1st WG and then 1933 Guardsman Thomas B Daniel 1st WG, no 1931 or 1932.

848535 would seem odd for that regiment, rather to high prior to 1920 and then does not fit into the regiments block from 2730001
