This is not about Kenneth Verdun Manns directly, but about the names of children, particularly boys, born during the first World war.
I had a cousin who was called Mons (Jones), he lived in Ruthin in North Wales. His father had been killed at the battle of Mons, and never saw his son.
Could one deduce that Kenneth Verdun Manns' father fought, and possibly died, at the battle of Verdun?
There were a great number of young husbands who died in the battles in France, and never saw their children, conceived in haste before they went off to fight, for, as they thought and hoped, a better life in a country fit for heroes.

Have established that Kenneth verdun Manns was the son of archie manns and elizabeth blodwen geen.
Kenneth may have had a shop in dowlais, maybe a outfitters, anyone remember,( sorry I dont know the name)
