I'm beginning to research my grandfather's war path (as a suprise 90th birthday present for his daughter!) and wonder if anyone can help me find out the date on which he was transfered from The Welsh Regiment to the RWF and in which battalion RWF he may have served.
His MIC tells me he entered France 17th February 1915; was a private in the Welsh Regiment (1/6th Glamorgan Bn, I believe, serial no.22379) and was demobbed 13th January 1919 as a L/Cpl in the RWF (serial no. 42176).
I imagine the RWF museum will be able to help, but thought I'd pick your substantial brains first.
