I have corrected reference to his elder brother's death from "killed in" to "died of wounds received in" the Battle of the Somme because he lived long enough to be evacuated to Britain, enabling his body to be buried in the same Welshpool churchyard as Mervyn came to be. (Had he been killed outright in the battle, at that stage of the war burial in Britain would have been impossible.)Cloptonson (talk) 17:33, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
