There is also a C Jones in the 2/24th and a Charles Jones 25B/141 in the 1/24.
However with the Pontypool link this is more than likely to be 1059 B Company who served in the Imperial Mounted Infnatry.
One for you Julian

Good.

I hope you are finding these articles and obituaries useful Julian in helping to 'put someflesh onto the bones' of the Imperial Mounted Infantrymen you are researching.

Yes, thanks, very useful. In truth, I have difficulty in keeping up with the volume of posts you are making!!! I am starting to go through David Jackson's papers whilst trying to get on with the essays for Studies in the ZW vol. VI, whilst doing other research. I shall have to hire an assistant at this rate!

Thank you Julian. I'm glad they are useful.
Yes 605 posts in a month is quite a lot but I do find reading the articles fascinating.

I suppose I best ease off now though as I don't think the Admin team are too pleased with the number of posts.
Apart from an instructional e-mail a few weeks ago I have heard nothing from them and every minute keep expecting a pm telling me to stop. Hopefully what I have posted up will help others in the future.

Thank you once again and good luck with the ZW volume VI (put me down for a copy)
