He was discharged in 1920 and I've got a sneaky feeling that this could have been his 1st marriage (not known by my friend)
Marriages Dec 1917
Owen Eunice M Simmonds Cardiff 11a 856
Quick Kate Williams Cardiff 11a 856
Simmonds Edward I Owen Cardiff 11a 856
Williams George M Quick Cardiff 11a 856
Is it a coincidence that he (my friend) has a 'half sister' called Eunice?
