this is a longshot but would anyone have any information about or connection to a Private R Williams, a private in 2nd Battalion the Royal Welch Fusiliers who was killed in Bunratty, Co Clare, Ireland 10th July 1921 (the day before the Truce). His death record on the Commonwealth War Graves website indicates his mother was Mrs M Williams of 3, Abbey Green, Chester.
http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=2743402He was a motorcycle despatch rider travelling from Limerick to Ennis with another soldier when the bridge at Bunratty collapsed having been sabotaged by local IRA. Whilst his colleague survived, Private Williams drowned.
His service number, 4179390, was from the 1920 re-organisation in the Army. There's no medal card for him and I believe that he was likely a post war enlistment who was too young to have served during WW1.
I'd like to find out a bit more about him and his links to Cheshire etc Don't even know his or his mothers first name at the moment which is proving a stumbling block.
