Dan Williams was the younger brother of my father Rees Jenkin Williams. I have all of my father's details and know that he joined the Kings Royal Rifles in December 1927 at Bridgend Glamorgan. I know that he was followed into the army by his younger brother Dan who was five years his junior (born 1909). I have no record of Dan apart from birth date and place (Nantymoel Ogmore). I understand that he served in India but where and with which regiment I do not know. He was with my father at Tidworth barracks because my mother told me. That anecdotal evidence is the only guide to him. I have found a Dan Williams of the Welch Regiment who died July 21st 1944 in France aged 34. Without being able to access Army records in a general way, as one can with civil records, I cannot say that it is my uncle Dan. All the people who I would have asked are now gone. They all would have been over a hundred years old now. How on earth can I trace uncle Dan and add him fully to the family tree. Can anyone please help?
