title: Photograph of Clifford Powell with German spikeed helmet

description: Photo of Clifford Powell wearing a spiked German helmet. There is another photo in the collection of Percy Bufton, home on leave, wearing the same helmet. 

Arthur Clifford 'Cliff' Powell was the eldest son of W.J. and Clara Powell, and older brother of Walter Powell. Their brother Percy died of his wounds in 1917. According to Walter Powell's notes Cliff had "served over 3 years at Ypres" in three regiments Herefords, Monmouth's, Somerset Light Infantry, "In 5 Battalions. Terrible Losses". 

Part of a collection relating to Walter H. Powell, Llandrindod Wells, (private / driver M2-267205 Mechanised Transport Army Service Corps). Born 1898, Walter tried to join up under-age on a number of occasions, finally succeeding in 1916. He served many months - (more than 2 years?) - in different army units in Britain, before going over to France. He served as a despatch rider for an anti-aircraft battery in 1918-1919. Walter was gassed "suffering the effects all his life". He was a founder member of Toc-H in Llandrindod, and a keen footballer - he died in 1994 aged 96. However Walter's older brothers (Cliff and Percy Powell) and his uncle (Humphrey Powell) died of wounds sustained during the war.

title: Embroidered postcard of Leonard Jackson (2)

description: My Grandfather Leonard Jackson of Millbridge near Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, was killed on the 26th of September 1917, aged 28, at Passchendaele, Belgium. There is no grave as he was blown to pieces by a shell. His name is on the Tyne Cot memorial near Ypres.

He enlisted in June 1916, joining the Royal Welsh Fusiliers as he was working in Wales at the time. He was wounded in the leg in April 1917, but was sent back to the front after treatment.

He left behind a widow, Minnie, and three little girls; Ruby aged 2, Constance aged 4, and Evelyn Mavis, my mother, aged 6. Mother always remembered walking into town with him in his uniform on his last leave, and was very proud of him.

An example of a 'Silk', embroidered postcard. Nothing written on the back, but normally these would have been enclosed within letters.

Where are the now those strong and silent men,
Whose young keen faces blur with passing time,
They were at our sides when we left our native shores,
but somehow, in the hell that was to come, they were no more.
And when it was all done and we came home,
To tears, and cheers, and sweetheart loving arms,
They were not there those brave and silent men.
And now our wrinkled tearstained faces turn,
As we move past those scarlet poppy wreaths,
The ones who walk unaided help the lame,
And those who cannot see are guided on,
Where are they now those men forever young.
