Meirdryn Williams...............
« on: Monday 30 September 19 17:40 BST (UK) »
Commonwealth War Graves Commission would like to contact relatives of Royal Airforce Volunteer Reserve Meirdryn Williams - aircraftman second class - who died 19 July 1941 aged 26 years.

If you van help, CWGC would love to hear from you.

The private memorial marking the grave of Aircraftman Second Class Meirdryn Williams no longer provides adequate commemoration.  The Commission are in the process of of producing a headstone to mark his grave.

That's great. Thank you very much.  It's great to see CWGC dedicating new headstones where they are needed.

I've contacted the South Wales Evening Post, which covers Clydach.
Hopefully they will publish an appeal.
