Charles Atkinson Milward was a private,service number 290164,and seved with the 17th Bn., The Welsh Regiment, attached to RNVR "Drake" Battalion,R.N. Division.
He died in the Great War 28th May 1918 and lies in the Mesnil Communal Cemetry extension,France,plot 11 Row EE,Grave 18 in the Somme.
Is he related to the Swansea Thomas Milwards ?
I would like to know more about this brave warrior and find out which branch of the William Milwards of Cardiff he belonged to.
I am hoping that there is a connect with other research being carried out by members.
Any assistance is gratefully received.
Tank you !
