Notes |
George Powell was a very small man and was enlisted into The Welsh Bantams. Being of a very young age when the war began he joined by stating he was older than his correct age. By the end of the Great War George had spent a year in hospital suffering horrific injuries.
Editor's Comment: Photograph taken in training camp. Two men are armed with Magazine Lee Enfield rifles. Private George Powell would have enlisted as a Bantam in the 17th (Service) Bns. (1st Glamorgans), The Welsh Regiment. |
