clive_hughes Posted 17 July , 2016 Share Posted 17 July , 2016 I'm looking for a copy of a pamphlet by Thomas Williams (aka Thomas Nefyn Williams) entitled At Suvla Bay: What A Soldier Learnt At Gallipoli". Not sure when it was published, as it's apparently undated - maybe 1930s? It was published for the Fellowship of Reconciliation, so presumably has a pacifist slant to it. He served at Suvla and later Palestine as a Private with 1/6th RWF, being wounded at 1st Gaza. Tom Nefyn was later ordained in the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church, but was something of a stormy peterel. If anyone has this item or knows where a copy can be obtained, please let me know.

seaJane Posted 17 July , 2016 Share Posted 17 July , 2016 I can't find it on copac.jisc.ac.uk, which should include the National Library of Wales holdings, but if it has been treated as ephemera they may have it on a separate catalogue. Might be worth trying the Library of the Society of Friends https://www.quaker.org.uk/resources/library/visit-the-library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 17 July , 2016 Share Posted 17 July , 2016 And the Imperial War Museum library which is not on Copac either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive_hughes Posted 18 July , 2016 Author Share Posted 18 July , 2016 seaJane, Tried the Friends Library - they say it's not in there. Have made a specific enquiry of the National Library of Wales now. Thanks, Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clive_hughes Posted 21 July , 2016 Author Share Posted 21 July , 2016 SeaJane, Just for interest, I have now been told that the National Library of Wales do indeed hold a copy of this pamphlet under shelfmark ref. XBR115 W2 W72 They explained that the computer catalogue starts from 1986, though most earlier items have by now been incorporated. This one hadn't been, and was found using an older fiche catalogue!
