Only info we have is a service number 4189
« on: Sunday 04 November 07 09:58 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help, we have the service number for William Jones of Bargoed as being 4189 and we think he enlisted on the 29th May 1916. Is possible to find from that piece of information his Regement.

Hope someone can enlighten us.

Regards Ken

hello, ken,

If you go to this site you will find all the details for William John Jones, of 5, Transit St., Bargoed.   His attestation & discharge papers together with details of wife & children & a physical description.   He was in the 2nd batt. Monmouthshire Reg.

http://content.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx=View&r=5538&dbid=1114&iid=miuk1914a_085105-02761&fn=William+John&ln=Jones&st=r&ssrc=&pid=481526

This site is thro' ancestry.co.uk, if you do not have a subscription to them there is a fee to pay, you can also view these details at the Nat. Archives Kew, again if they supply copies there is a fee.

The info runs to 4 pages.

Hope this helps,

Meliora
RIP 1927-2018
