Tommy Iball and I believe Tom Gittins. Both from Mold.
Your help in this matter is much appreciated.

It should read:

Born Southsea Wrexham

Any info on above would be much appreciated ie: RWF Bn's they served in, medal cards etc.

Benny, the only Thomas Iball in the Enlistment Register is Iball 4209686.
As for Gittins, it looks like the one you want is Gittins 4188302.
Estyn Gittins 4195400 served with 4 RWF, as did his brother, and was transferred to 30 Welch Regt 18/05/1942. His enlistment date is not given in the Register.
I have no further information. But the family can apply for service records. Further info here:

Hope this helps.

Thank you John
Thomas Peter Iball only did national service I believe with the RWF?
No idea, Benny. As I said, the only Thomas Iball I could find is 4209686. All I could find about him is in my first post.
