Trav Posted 16 January , 2022 Share Posted 16 January , 2022 The first name, Harry W H, may well be a relative of mine. If anyone knows of any 'threads' I can follow it would be appreciated, as I'm not getting much in my initial searches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Linham Posted 16 January , 2022 Share Posted 16 January , 2022 (edited) Trav I assume that Private 229315 William Herbert Harry 1st Battalion Monmouthshire Regt KIA 27/8/1917 and commemorated on the Loos Memorial. Parents Mr & Mrs Harry of Trehill, St Nicholas , Cardiff , is your man. Malcolm Edited 16 January , 2022 by Malcolm Linham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man Malcolm identified above was a clerk with the Barry Railway. He has a surviving service record of sorts and his death was reported by the OC 115 TrenchMortar Battery. He had passed via the 11th SWBorderers Charlie Edited 16 January , 2022 by charlie962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie962 Posted 17 January , 2022 Share Posted 17 January , 2022 (edited) As you will see it says possible, most likely.. thus more work needs to be done. Of course the uncertainty may relate to the NRM memorial roll. If the Barry emoyment details are the same man as 2KSLI then all ok.

Jarrett K.S.L.I., but nothing at all on him locally not even a newspapers snippet I was told that the J. JARRETT commemorated on the BARRY MEMORIAL was a JOHN JARRETT Monmouthshire Regt.? but cannot confirm The James Jarrett 7414 2nd K.S.L.I., was an old regular soldier and was a special reserve on outbreak of war and mobilized at Cardiff I was hoping to find some document regarding him working on the Barry Railway prior to mobilization, and has for the Shrewsbury connection nothing found Any thoughts or suggestion kind regards Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 17 January , 2022 Share Posted 17 January , 2022 I think you should contact NRM and see if they have a bit more confirming the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPT Posted 17 January , 2022 Share Posted 17 January , 2022 There was a 15 year old John Jarrett living in Barry on the 1901 census, born Bristol, stepson of Hubert Jesse Barnfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 17 January , 2022 Share Posted 17 January , 2022 I believe that the above man is correct and that he is the Monmouthshire soldier. The soldier's children are listed as Irene Jennie, Mary Margaret and Herbert James Jarrett. I think this is the family on the 1911 census, living at 11 Harcourt Terrace, Brithdir.
