Would appreciate some help from Forum members. Here is an unusual name so he should be easy to identify. This man was a CLB Officer and, I believe, was wounded in the Great War serving with the Cheshire Regt. Can anyone confirm these details and possibly add to them? I am not seeking a full blown biography, just a few details. After the war he was a appointed Chief Staff Officer to the Church Lads Brigade Cadets.

Dear michaelpi and sadbrewer, thank you very much for responding to my appeal. It was kind of you to go to this trouble on my behalf. I can now put a good paragraph together on Mostyn Ffoulkes.
