TitlePhotograph of the Llandrindod Wells Peace Choir, belonging to Walter Powell (2)
NotesPhoto of the Llandrindod Wells Peace Choir. Note on the back in Walter Powell's writing reads 1922 The Peace Choir (100 Voices) at the Dedication of the War Memorial, On Brynawel Lawn (now the Glenusk Hotel). Mr Harry Jones and Revd Stephen George joint conductors.

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.
