Excellent . A Brother in Law of William Henry Duglan was Sergt Benjamin Davies (RAMC ) went abroad and he was in Zanzibar in 1917 according to an article posted in the Aberdare Leader newspaper 20 Oct 1917, so this would fit as they actually lived in the same houses together .
Thinking about it I recall my uncle Phil telling me a story about my grandfathers cousin Jim who is probably WJ Duglan who went to Rhodesia to live. Was told that one of them actually gave singing lessons to the Princess Juliana to sing whilst on the ship trip over.
This is not the same person I was looking for WH Duggan but think he must've been the person in Rhodesia in the army as it fits with no info in the uk of him .
Do you know if the Welsh address mentions the words Brynamlwg , Penrhiwceiber, Miskin or Llanwonno.
William Duglan born 1873 ( Pontypridd Reg ) and died 1930 in Mountain Ash is believed to actually be his uncle .
Thanks for your help ,
Regards,
Dave Boyce
