Douglas Beard Sgt D.C.M. awarded Sept 1916

Thank you for the info. The person I am helping out is looking to "put flesh on the bones" of local soldiers who served in WW1, so that they don't end up just as names. An admirable venture. They belong to a church in Rhos on Sea and will be putting on an exhibition of WW1 service personnel later this year. I am convinced now that I have the correct individual. Yes, you might well be correct that their memorial is to those who served, not just those who lost their lives. Thanks again to everyone for taking the time and trouble to help me out. Much appreciated. Chris

I have a few local sources that may confirm/open up any 'unknowns' on the memoril/roll of service should you want to PM me the details any time.

Thank you. I will bear that in mind if I have any further ones to do

Thank you Lars. Yes, I contacted one of the private member tree holders to see if I could get a photo of Douglas from them. They haven't bothered to reply to me !!! It seems that the people I am helping out have taken their soldiers names from a list compiled by the vicar of Rhos on Sea, some time ago (don't know when). It would have been nice to have had a photo of him to put on display, but there we go. It's great to know I have this extra source of help from you guys, should I need it. Thanks again.
