After having tried to find some information about my great grandfather without luck I now turn to you, great historians of reddit, for some kind of general info. Here is what I know (except his name);
If anyone could help me narrow down probable theatre of operation, time of service or anything like that I would be very greatful.. I know that it will only be educated guessing but right now I have nothing at all.
Thank you!
Do you have a name and unit perhaps?

Being Welsh, he probably served in the 38th Welsh Division, Lloyd-George's so-called "Welsh Army". They saw particularly bloody fighting around Mametz Wood during the Battle of the Somme.
Llewelyn Wyn Griffith wrote "Up to Mametz and Beyond", based on his experiences as an officer in the 38th, and later as a staff officer; an excellent account of the war.
David Jones, another Welshman, wrote "In Parenthesis", certainly one of the greatest literary works of the war, though little known today. He blends his experiences on the Somme into poetic verse, calling to mind historic Welsh battles like Camlann in the Arthurian legend. Definitely not your average 'war book', but superb nonetheless.
