Dvr. Frank Richards
British Army Royal Field Artilliery
from:New Tredegar
My uncle, Frank Richards, went to war from New Tredegar where he lived and worked. He was wounded and gassed and returned to his home at Iron Brdige, Shropshire following his discharge. However his landlady in New Tredegar was unaware of this and had his name put on the local war Memorial. It is out of alphabetical order at the very bottom of the list. I wander how many other cases there are like this.
Frank eventually died in Sept 1951 as a result of the gas he received during WW1. His elder brother Eli Richards also served in the WW1 and received the MM.
