Dear Sarah from freebmd:- March Quarter, 1917 Morgan David aged 32, District: Pembroke, Volume 11a, Page 1612 nb Robeston was in the Narberth district at this time, but perhaps he died in a hospital unit. Hope this helps.

Apologies list - further detail on David Morgan! David Morgan, Private, 54295, Welsh Regiment. David was born at Robeston Wathen, the Son of John and Ann Morgan. He had married prior to the war, and lived with his wife Rachel at Robeston. David enlisted into the Welsh Regiment, and was posted to the 15th Battalion, the Carmarthen Pals, attached to 114 Brigade, 38th (Welsh) Division. It is not known when he moved to France, but he was probably one of a batch of reinforcements sent to the Battalion after fighting at Mametz Wood, where they lost many men. David then saw service with the Battalion while they were at Ypres in 1917, and probably fought at the Pilckem Ridge and Langemarck, before taking ill and being sent back to Britain for treatment. He died aged 35, on 17 March 1917, and was buried at Robeston Wathen Churchyard. His widow Rachel remarried, and became Rachel Williams, of the Police Station, Goodwick, Pembrokeshire. Lynne, you see there doesn't seem to be a 54295 there at all? Sarah. -----Original Message----- From: Lynne Ingalls [mailto:lynne.ingalls@comcast.net] Sent: 29 September 2013 19:56 To: Sarah Reay Subject: Re: [Dyfed] Looking for death certificate of a WW1 Welsh Regimentsoldier?

Good Evening List, I just wondered if anyone could help me in terms of trying to locate a death certificate for my DAVID MORGAN who was in the Welsh Regiment (full details on CWGC website) who died on the 17th March 1918. He was in France or Belgium when he became ill and he was then brought home to the UK. So, I believe he died in the UK (he may have been brought back to Pembrokeshire or he may have been in a hospital in England or other part of Wales) but I cannot find a death certificate? He was buried in his home village of Robeston Wathem in Pembrokeshire. I have the burial record, but I was hoping to obtain a copy of his death certificate? I have looked up all the usual resources, Free BMD, FMP, West Wales War Memorial Project, etc. and I can find no death for a David Morgan in the March Qtr of 1918? Maybe I'm missing something very obvious here, but if anyone can help to simply steer me in the correct direction, that would be much appreciated! Are there separate death records for WW1 soldiers who died from their injuries or illness when they returned home or were they treated as 'civilian deaths'?? David Morgan was my grandfather's cousin. Thank you for any help!
