Hello Peter

If my memory serves me right a lot of WW1 records were destroyed

I looked for the records of Thomas Edgar John (born Pembrokeshire),they were`nt on Ancestry.

Kind regards

If you can not find his records on Ancestry under Soldiers Records WO-363 or Soldiers Pensions WO-364, then his service records did not survive the bombing of Exeter during W.W.2, the surviving records of which became known as “The Burnt List”. I have been able to find a number of Pembrokeshire men who survived the Great War and for whom I have found their service records, adding much info to my Military Headstone database.
I note there is a “History of the Pembroke Yeomanry” 1794 to 1959. There is a War Diary of the 24th Battalion The Welch Regt which was the battalion formed from the dismounted Pembroke Yeomanry
Alas no Vaughan records of my own ancestors survive, which is a great pity as it was the last and only lead I had in trying to locate the P.O.W. camp that my Grandfather was in after he was captured at 3rd Ypres.
The Pembroke Record Office issue a leaflet/guide on its holdings of the P.I.Y. and I have multiple entries in my database of military headstones of Pembrokeshire of various gentleman who served at some point in the Yeomanry during the 19th and 20th century.
Apologies for any duplication of known info.

I know this is not what you are looking for and I expect you know of this site already but just in case.

I am local to the area and someone I know is very, very, very knowledgable about military history especially in this area. When I see him again I will ask him.

Thank you for all the answers received,it's a great shame so many records were lost makes it so hard to trace these soldiers.

Could you please ask your very very very knowledgeable person on Military History to assist me with the following ;
1.   Who was the 1st Pembroke Dock serviceman KIA in W.W. 1 ?
2.   What was the relationship of Major Glue to Llanion Military Barracks and where is his headstone.
3.   Where and why was Sqd Ldr Reggie Thomas of Gwyther Street held in Jail during W.W. 2.
I realize such questions will be very simple for such a person to answer, however it would greatly assist my own humble & amateurish research into Pembrokeshire Military History between the years of 1711 and 2010.
Tks in advance
