Griffith Maddoc Thomas
His inquest is reported in a newspaper in 1953 Along with other details

"John Jenkyn Thomas said his brother had served in the South wales Borderers in the WW2 and was wounded in the back by a shell in Italy"

There is  a G M Thomas on the casualty lists for 1944 who was wounded in Italy but he was in the Leicestershire regiment and as his name is not that unusual, probably not him.
