According to a handwritten note on the inside, William Benjamin Thomas, Rhydyclafdy, acquired this pocketbook-sized New Testament in Welsh on 7 February 1906.

He was killed in action in France on 26 February 1917, aged 24.

This document was brought to the attention of the U-Boat Project 1914-18 by Gina Miles, Pontypridd, who inherited the postcard collection from the Thomas family and kindly allowed us to share it.
