ww1 and ww2 Edward Llewelyn Rees
« on: Friday 23 November 07 18:32 GMT (UK) »
i am trying to find some info for a colleague regarding his grandfather who was born in 1899 in Pontypridd Glamorgan South Wales.
He fought in both ww1 and ww2 Edward Llewelyn Rees .
It is believed he was in the Royal welsh fusiliers (no. 76255 ) in ww1 and then the Artillery Regiment in ww2.
I would appreciated any info which i can pass on.
There are some medals but they are not accessable at this moment in time so we cant check the details on them.
He did not die in service.
thanks
