William Whelan RWF and MGC

[Chris_Baker]

A long shot.

William Leo Whelan.

Originally 19689 Pte in 8th (S) Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

Became 146198 Private in MGC, I believe 101, 102 or 103 MG Company.

In December 1918 or January 1919, he left a bit of graffiti in Floreffe, Belgium, as his unit (by now, 34th Bn MGC) was on its way to Germany. And the finder of the graffiti and I are trying to track down a bit more detail. Unfortunately his service papers seem to have been lost.

So...as I said a long shot...can anyone shed any further light on this man? Home, photo, anything!
