Photograph of new recruits

Photo of young men posing on the steps at Llandrindod Wells railway station after volunteering to join the army (1914) - recently published in the Mid Wales Journal newspaper. Standing second from right, rear row is John Price Jones, farmer Diarth Farm, Llanyre, Llandrdindod Wells (Mrs Jones' Dad).

Jones enlisted to join the Montgomeryshire Yeomanry, Private 2526. He was billeted at No 1 Llyndu Terrace, Welshpool, and was married from there on 15 July 1915 to Emily Howells of Tybrith Farm, Cloddia. "He fought on the trenches on the Somme from which he contracted Trench Feet Fever and had to be treated in hospital for it for some months before returning to the front. He was also in the battle of Ypres, a battle also fought in appalling conditions where the water level was just under the crust of the earth, so everywhere became a sea of mud from tanks, war machinery and horses churning it up. Mustard Gas was a weapon used by the Germans in this battle as well, and caused much distress to the forces fighting there and Pte J.P. Jones was one that got caught in one of those blasts and was hospitalised at Richmond in London for 6 weeks recuperation before returning to the front again."

1914年，一众志愿参军的年轻男性在兰德林多德韦尔斯（Llandrindod Wells）火车站的台阶上合影留念，该照片近日刊登于《中威尔士报》（Mid Wales Journal）。后排右数第二位为约翰·普莱斯·琼斯（John Price Jones），他是兰德林多德韦尔斯兰莱尔市迪亚思农场（Diarth Farm, Llanyre, Llandrindod Wells）的农场主，亦是琼斯夫人的父亲。
琼斯应征加入蒙哥马利郡义勇骑兵队（Montgomeryshire Yeomanry），服役编号为列兵2526。他曾在威尔士浦的林杜露台1号（No 1 Llyndu Terrace, Welshpool）宿营，并于1915年7月15日在此地与克洛迪亚地区泰布里思农场（Tybrith Farm, Cloddia）的埃米莉·豪厄尔斯（Emily Howells）成婚。
他曾在索姆河战场的战壕中作战，期间感染战壕足热（Trench Feet Fever），入院治疗数月后方才重返前线。他还参与了伊普尔战役，该战役的作战环境极为恶劣——地表下水位几乎与地面齐平，坦克、战争器械与马匹将地面搅得泥泞不堪，处处皆是泥沼。德军在此战役中还使用了芥子气（Mustard Gas），给参战部队造成了极大的痛苦与伤亡，列兵J·P·琼斯亦在某次芥子气袭击中中招，随后被送往伦敦里士满（Richmond）的医院接受了六周的康复治疗，之后再次返回前线。
该馆藏还包含一张列兵约翰·普莱斯·琼斯骑马的扫描照片。
