anyone or rather someone must have some info on the 1st Welch during WW2, I know they were in the North African Campaign, anyone know ANYTHING on either George or Frank Gwynn from Hereford, Frank was killed 1943 and is buried in Tunisia, its more than the proverbial needle in a haystack. Can someone point me in the right direction please

Dear Tina,
Is this not his service number on this link to his war grave information? If you have this number then I beleive that you can request his army record? Or help from his regiment.
All best
Also, did you look at the link for his cemetery in Tunisia on that page - this may also provide some leads.
This below take you to the cemetery page or use the link on his war grave link that you already have
, in reply to message 9.

THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES
-your guide to ressources
The National Archives has a huge collection of records dealing with Britain's military history. Whatever period you are studying, we will hold documents that reveal strategy, equipment and the experience of those that fought.
You might be looking for an individual serviceman or woman's record. If this is the case, you can make things easier for yourself by bringing some details with you. These starting points will help you find the individual you are after.
Make sure you have as full a version of the name as possible - it will be easier to identify 'Thomas George Victor Atkins' if you have the full name - there may be dozens of 'T. Atkins'.
Find out which of the services the individual served in - the army, Royal Navy (including Royal Marines) or Royal Air Force. Any further details of the regiment and battalion, ship or squadron will also speed things up.
Find out when the person served; pre First World War, First World War and after 1920 are the loosest categories, but again, the more detail you can provide the better. Enlistment and demobilisation dates are particularly helpful.
