British Army 1st Btn. King's Shropshire Light Infantry
from:Rhosllanerchrugog, Wrexham
Daniel Jones was injured on the 29th of September 1917 whilst serving in a front line trench in Lens, France, and endured many months of tortuous treatments, no doubt with rudimentary anaesthetics and no antibiotics. By some miracle he kept his left leg, but was discharged as being "Permanently unfit for war service of any kind". He received a Silver War Badge, The War medal and a Victory Medal. He went on to marry and have 2 sons, one who is still alive, 04-05-2018, and approaching 90. Daniel worked in the Marchweil Munitions Factory during the second world war as a cloakroom attendant.
