Gnr. Lewis Richards

British Army 275th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery

(d.11th Dec 1918)

Lewis Richards died of Spanish flu in Belgium on the 11th of December 1918 He was a gunner in the Royal Garrsion Artillery, 275th Siege Battery.

Additional Information:

I have been searching for information about a Frederick Percy Welch from St Austell in Cornwall who died in WW1. Records have been lost but there is a P F Welch recorded as being 275th Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery who died just six days after Lewis Richards. He was known by his middle name Percy so it is conceivable that his initials were inverted. Also Percy's younger brother Wilfred Ernest Welch joined the Devonshires just as Lewis did so it looks like your records have led me to find the man I have been searching for so long. Percy is one of eight St Austell Baptist Church boys who died in WW1.
