The Welsh Regiment, 52nd (Graduated) Battalion

Up to 27 October 1917, this was known as 234th Graduated Battalion and had no regimental affiliation. Before that it had been 65th Battalion of the Training Reserve and up to September 1916 had been the 14th (Reserve) Battalion of the South Wales Borderers. A training unit based at Herringfleet, it was part of 205th Brigade in 68th Division. Moved to Lowestoft in winter 1917-18 and by May 1918 was at Saxmundham.[from the Regimental website]

Hopefully this young man missed the War, which ended Nov. 11, 1918.
