As there was no 19th Battalion after
WWI this must be pre-1919.
The 6th Battalion (Glamorgan) Welsh
Regiment was a Territorial Force
battalion based in Swansea.
The 19th (Service) Battalion Welsh
Regiment were the Glamorgan Pioneers,
based in Colwyn Bay.
In May 1916 the 6th Battalion was
converted into a Pioneer Battalion as
well, but did not serve in the same
formations as the 19th Battalion.
The surname BREACHE does not exist in
any records, but 59561 Private Arthur
Breach served with the 19th Battalion
The Welsh Regiment and in 1911 was
living in Crythan Road, Neath,
Glamorgansghire.
