Date and Circumstances of Death Killed in Action 10th April 1918 aged 27 yrs
Biographical Details Known His parents were Charles and Harriet Williams and he was born in Rhosesmor but resided in Queensferry. He was connected with Bryn Seion Chapel Sychdyn as he is named on the memorial inside the chapel. He was therefore probably a Welsh speaker.
We have found it very difficult to ascertain very much about this soldier and we are not 100% sure that what we have written is exactly correct. We are mostly struggling with his connection with Sychdyn. He appears on the main village memorial and the Bryn Seion memorial so clearly there was a connection.
Please can anyone help?
