Pte. Henry Leslie "Ted." Jasper
British Army Royal Welsh Fusiliers
from:Cwmyoy, Monmouthshire
My father Henry Jasper was born in 1899, he was a Lewis gunner and served first with The Monmouthshire Regiment (service number 60951) and later with The Royal Welsh Fusiliers (service number 90473). In 1974 My husband was posted to RAF Kinloss and when my father came to visit us he casualy mentioned that after being mustard gassed during WW1 he had woken up to find himself in hospital in Aberdeen, when he recovered he was sent to Ireland.
This was the only information we had about his war service but at least in later years I was able to find his medal card although no other information at all so I suspect his records were lost during WW2 during the bombing.
