Does anyone know anything about Hubert Malcom Griffiths born 1874, Captain in the Worcestershire Regiment, later Major in the 8th Worcester Regiment Territorial Force. I see that his medal card is in the TNA collection, but have not bought it yet. He was a distant cousin of mine. Many thanks, MLB

Thank you for that. I also saw that he was mentioned in a book, The Worcester Regiment in the Great War, but I do not have the book -does anyone have a copy?
Major Griffiths was a dental surgeon.

Hello MLB,
Hubert Griffiths was my paternal grandfather.
My brother and I have been researching his war record recently, since when my mother died I discovered a photograph of him visiting Belgium / France possibly on the great British Legion pilgrimage @1928.
We retraced his journey in May this year, and found his trenches on the Somme.
He Died in 1965 after surviving being gassed in the winter of 1916
Contact me directly on my e-mail
billgriffiths100@aol.com.
Look forward to hearing from you
J.W. Griffiths
