Hi all, anyone have an idea about numbering in the Welsh regiment, specifically 915 H Jones? Would this number neccessarily be a regular? thanks Gareth

Almost certainly not: the series started at Number 1. in 1882 and an average regiment with two regular battalions waded through over 300 numbers [in sequence] in a year. More like a TF man or SR man enlisted c. 1910, because their numbers started from 1. in 1908.
