Hi
Can anyone offer a lookup for Pte Thomas JONES Welsh Regiment who received QSA & KSA .
Thomas JONES was born 1882 Aberdare, Glamorgan
He received the MM L/Sjt. T. Jones France & awarded MM bar 9/12/1916 serving with the 2nd Bn. Welsh Regiment
I believe I found the correct Thomas JONES' MM medal card reg. name Welsh Regiment & reg. no 5975, also mentioned in the LG as 5975 Sjt. T. Jones Welsh R.
He also received the VM & BWM Sjt. T. Jones, 15* Cpl. T Jones with above reg. name & number Theatre (1) France 24/11/1914.
Would he have had the same Regiment Number when he received the QSA/KSA ?
Could he have taken some time out after Boer War ended then rejoined Welsh Regiment in the 2nd Bn. before going to France? I haven't found him on 1911 census at Llanion Barracks, Pembroke.
Any information gratefully received as I am trying to piece together the beginning of his army career.
Thanks
