Martyn Gibson Posted 11 February , 2003 Share Posted 11 February , 2003 I have viewed the Document Repository but I was unable to find anyone with a Unit history or War Diary for any Battalion of the Monmouthshire Regiment. Does anyone know of anyone with information on this unit. Thanks to information received from a previous posting on this site I have found further information in my research of my Grandfather but the information given on the back of his medals does not reveal what number battalion he was in only the regiment name. He is 1881 Pte Joseph Gibson he originally joined the Monmouthshire Regiment in 1914 but on returning to active service after being wounded he was transferred to the Welsh Regiment with the service number 53790. Any information gratefully received Kind regards Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David Humphrey Posted 11 February , 2003 Share Posted 11 February , 2003 The Regimental Museum at the Barracks in Brecon, Wales would probably have all the information and more (its remit includes The Monmouthshires and its successors).

robwilliams Posted 13 February , 2003 Share Posted 13 February , 2003 Martyn, With a number as low as that I would hazard a guess at 1/1 Bn. The definitive answer is to be found in the medal rolls at the PRO. I believe a number of Monmouth men also found their way into the S Wales Borderers.
