Frank Meredith Flintshire and Denbighshire Yeomanry
My Grandfather, Frank Meredith, was a member of the Denbighshire Yeomanary. He fought in Egypt in about 1916/17, not too sure as my Dad was only 12 when his Dad died, he just remembers the two horses frank's father bought him as my father has followed in his footsteps with the equine interest,as i have. We do have pics of Frank in uniform, and have a curb chain off the bridle,and only one spur off his boots!
Sjt. Isaac Waters Flintshire and Denbighshire Yeomanry
Sergeant 3177 Ike Waters was my grandfather. He was a member of the Denbighshire Yeomanry, a mounted Territorial Force, prior to WW1 and then at the outbreak of war the Yeomanry formed part of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. He served in that regiment with service number 345393. I recall as a young boy seeing a photo of my grandfather on his horse in Egypt and I believe this was taken in 1915. He then went back to the Denbighshire Yeomanry with service number 340401 and ended his army service with the RASC, number T/232880. Unfortunately I've not been able to trace his war service record and assume it is amongst the many that were destroyed.
