John Stanley Strange, Brynmill, Swansea c1900

Any info on this man. A brewery worker (possibly a manager), later served with the Swansea Bn (14th Welsh) 1914-1918.

A bit more info - I think he may have come from or moved to a place called Woodbridge?

He was a member of Clyne Golf Club in the 1930s. His army record seems not to be available - maybe he served beyond 1921. I would think he was born about 1885 but am not sure.

He was certainly married in 1918 - he was taken prisoner then and he lived at Brynmill, possibly Alexander Road?

Thanks for that - I think its probably him. I'll have to try and trace his marriage and move from there.
