JONES, Arthur

46 Brunswick Road

North Wales Pioneer, July 7, 1916

Private Arthur Jones of the 8th Battalion, R.W.F., has been on active service 10 months. He fought in the Gallipoli campaign and was one of the last to leave the peninsula. He was then drafted out to Mesopotamia and was wounded in the endeavour to relieve General Townsend at Kut. He also received a painful bayonet wound in the heel - the result of a comrade slipping behind him in a bayonet charge. Pte Arthur Jones is now in hospital in Liverpool, and is happily recovering as well as can be expected. He is 22 years old and the son of Mr. Thomas Jones, Brunswick-road, Buckley.
