Janus Posted 31 October , 2007 Share Posted 31 October , 2007 I'm researching some relatives of mine who served in WW1, and was wondering if anyone could give me further information. Davies, Albert George Sapper Royal Engineers-176th Tunneling Company, Saunders, William John Private Welsh Regiment-2nd Battalion, and Thomas James Evans, I beleive who was in the 15th Battalion Welsh, who was injured sometime during 1917-18. All three were from Llanelly, although TJ Evans was born in Ystradyfodwg. The first two were KIA and TJ Evans survived the war. How can I find a list of soldiers who got the Silver War Badge?

Jem2109 Posted 31 October , 2007 Share Posted 31 October , 2007 I'm researching some relatives of mine who served in WW1, and was wondering if anyone could give me further information.

All three were from Llanelly, although TJ Evans was born in Ystradyfodwg. The first two were KIA and TJ Evans survived the war. I would start by going through the CWGC site and comparing the regt. no's for the two KIA and see if you can narrow it down that way. TJ Evans might be on Ancestry in the War pension records, but it's a long shot as there are a lot missing.

ian turner Posted 31 October , 2007 Share Posted 31 October , 2007 Janus, Presumably you have all the info that can be obtained online, espcially for the two casualties? That inlcudes the MIC - which for Evans might have his SWB reference. Either way it will take a visit to Kew to further your searches, provided you have concluded the readily available searches such as CWGC and SDGW. If so, then I guess you are after more specific info that pals on here sometimes collect about particular regiments or battalions. In that case, you might like to post a specific request for each serviceman individually, drawing attention to his unit, so that any interested pals might more readily spot your requests. A question of 'marketing'! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete L Posted 31 October , 2007 Share Posted 31 October , 2007 The two killed in action would not have received the silver war badge as it was for men discharged suffering from wounds or illness due to their army service. Their next of kin would have received the bronze memorial plaque. For the third man his medal index card would have any SWB entitlement, either on the same card as his medal entitlement, or on a separate card. If you can find his number I will check to see if he is on the 'pensions' file. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
