Sorry John, I didn't read your previous posting properly. I wonder if our two soldiers enlisted at the same time? Herbert Richards enlisted at Porth but I have no idea when.

John,

That's a great photo; exactly the kind of thing I'd like to get hold of for Herbert. To that end I have started another strand on the forum looking for Evans of Ferndale.
