Pte. Edgar Argent

British Army 12th Btn. Royal Welch Fusiliers

from:Swansea, Wales

Edgar Argent was the grandfather I never knew. He was born in Swansea and somehow ended up in Essex, where he met my nan and married her.

I know through Family Tree history that he was with the 12th Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers and then the Pioneer Corps. He was posted to the 4th Company in 1942. Also in 1942, he was at RAF West Malling helping build the aerodrome. Later, in 1944, he was at the Normandy landings on Queen White beach.

After the war, he left my nan, remarried, and lived in Kent in 1979. My mum was only 3 when he left and has never seen a photo of him. My quest now is to try to find one. I have his army papers and his medals but not the elusive photo.
