I have this one on its way to me, the Welsh Regiment, with a Pembroke dock photographers mark on the reverse, which I have yet to see as the seller did not show it. Interesting to see some of them with full belt kit and fixed bayonets.

Picked this one up yesterday for 50p. Royal Marine in summer whites I think.

Comedic post card for the 5th Bn The Welsh Regiment. Posted to someone in Wales and with handwritten patriotic message on the reverse. From Private Bob Griffiths to another Bob. The sender if stationed in HaverfordWest was quite likely serving with the 5th Bn the Welsh.

This is a possible candidate for him, that is assuming he died.

There are a few others, but again only if he died, while for those that survived would be many more and this does not prove anything and hopefully he survived to live to a ripe old age.

Here is one that almost slipped through the net while I was sifting through a pile in a charity shop.
"Tell the Huns to shut up for one day" I did some research and found that Pte. Hearn had been wounded, although I don't know much more than that.
Thanks Tom. Hopefully he was the one that survived the war.
