Pte. Leonard Morgan
British Army 2nd Btn. Welch Regiment
from:Cymmer, Glamorgan, Wales
From the release of the POW records I found that my grandfather, Leonard Morgan was taken prisoner at Nieuport and was originally at Merseburg camp. He was then at Wittenburg from Dec. 1916.
He had attested on 4th of August 1904, he was most likely Militia (T.A.) originally. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first viewed his details which I only looked at with a very cursory glance. Knowing the place he lived was something I happily remembered. Alas, I never knew him as he probably died in 1955 which is when I was born but the house was still the same and my Grandmother didn't pass away until she was 99. We actually lived in the North Riding of Yorkshire so only visited Wales about 3 times as a youngster (my mother was their daughter).
