Hi,

Some information about Private David John Ashton
He was born at Bettws, Carmarthenshire, Wales in 1895. His parents were William and Grace Ashton, of 32 Wernolau Road, Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, Wales.
His father William was a Coal Miner.
He had three sisters Mary, Louisa and Georgina.
He enlisted into the Army at Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, Wales and orginally joined the Army Service Corps (with army number R4/106783). He later was transferred to the Worcestershire Regiment and his army number changed to 41581. He joined the 1/8th Battalion.
He was killed in action on the 9th August 1918 (age 24).

If I find any information on the other names you mentioned I will post the details here.

Regards,

Louis (webmaster)
