Born in Cardiff, George joined up (with the 14 company 3rd Devonshire) in September 1914 alongside many companions. He was in camp in Exeter in 1914 and sent a postcard from there (see Thomas Percy Vivian Jenkins' story). He went to Rome aboard the SS Elmsgarth in 1916 and sent a postcard to his grandfather while at sea. He died in service. || postcard from Rome to Grandfather photo of George Jenkins and his intended

Thomas Percy Vivian Jenkins was born in Cardiff S. Wales. His contributor (Jeremy Stuehmeier) believes him to have been in 14 company 3rd Devonshire, (although this may be a brother, George, who sends a postcard from 14 company 3rd Devonshire in Exeter just after joining up in September 2014). Seems to have been in Egypt some of the time. He served, was wounded and died in Torquay 1918. || panoramic photograph of cavalry soldiers Devons? postcard photograph of TPVJ on horseback postcard photograph of TPVJ in pith helmet postcard photograph cavalry train postcard 'it's got to be done'
