We at the Royal Welch
Fusiliers Museum in Caernarfon are starting the mammoth task of looking for
photos of individual soldiers from the RWF who were killed in the Great War.
We are trying to put each
man’s name on display on a screen on the centenary of his death and would
dearly love to be able to add a photograph of each man to go with his
name. It is a huge undertaking as
there were over 10,400 men from the RWF that were killed. But even if we
only get a fraction of the photographs we believe it is worth doing. Many
of the RWF were from all over so we are asking please could you help?
You can help us by
circulating our plea to anybody who is interested. Many families have
photographs tucked away so this might prompt them to seek them out. We
accept scans or copies and any that appeared in newspapers, which often carried
obituaries including photographs.
We need as much information
as possible to go with the photo to make sure we fit the right photo to the
right man – but sometimes a name and date of death might be all we need.
Email us on rwfmuseum1@btconnect.com for more details or to send us a photo. You can also
follow our progress on Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Blogger, Flickr and Facebook
