I can't see him on this site though there is a Harold Jones of the SWB.

http://www.stockport1914-1918.co.uk/

John Hartley who runs the site is very helpful so it may be worth trying him.

Thank you Bernard. I do not know which Harvey Jones he is now. I might get in touch with the S. Wales Borderers and see if they can help me.

Thanks Manmack for  the information about the battalion.

I have found out that Harvey Jones was born in  Disley and died at colchester. I don't know why yet but will be sending for his death certificate.

Many thanks everyone for your help.
