Pte. Ralph Thomas
British Army 14th Battalion Welsh Regiment
from:Swansea
(d.27th July 1917)
On the 27th of July 1917, my Great Uncle, Private Ralph Thomas of the 14th Battalion, Welsh Regiment was killed in action. He came from Swansea in South Wales. He was the only son of Benjamin & Margaret Thomas of 9 Glyn Street, Hafod, Swansea.
I have been told that he has no known grave. Searching through records it appears that he may have been killed in the 3rd Battle of Ypres. That according to records is where the Battalion were located at the time? If anyone has more information on this, my family & I would like to know as we've never had the chance to pay our respects. Also information has been vague until I have started delving a bit deeper. Thank you.
