I am trying to find out about my g/grandmothers`s brother William Henry Washbrook. I have found a

Pte W H Washbrook (39293) on CWGC who was in 2nd Btn Welsh Reg and died 8/9/16. My William was born in Essex so not sure if this is my man as he is in Welsh Reg. Can anyone check his address or place of enlistment on SDGW.

Many thanks.

Many thanks for that guys, definetely my man. I find it strange how you can live in Essex and end up in a Welsh Regiment.

I know its been some years since the last post on this subject, but I have just started to research my Great Uncle, William Henry Washbrook (brother of my grandfather), as part of my family tree. How did you get on ?
