Fus. Elias Gwynedd Hughes
British Army 6th Btn. Royal Welch Fusiliers
from:Shirley, Birmingham
(d.10th November 1944)
Elias Hughes, known as Gwyn, was my late Father's brother and died aged 23 just before I was born. He left a wife Joyce Marion Hughes and a baby son Graham who was born in 1943. I have a photo of a young man but no name to know who it is and sadly my Father and Mother passed away many years ago so I have no one to ask now. The resemblance to my Father's side of the family is uncanny and I think that it must be Gwyn.
The Deganwy History Group ( Gwyn was born in Deganwy) has a Roll of Honour for all those service people who died in WW 2 and each November a Poppy is placed on the door where the person was born. I would like to add a photo to their list but until I can confirm definitely that the photo is of Gwyn then I cannot contribute it to their list. So the search goes on and hopefully I may find out sometime.
