I looked for her son found his details died age 27 on February 12th 1945,rank Private (army no 3965561) served in 4th Battalion Welch Regiment. I will have a look to see if there is an obit in the local paper for him.

hello I don't know how you can send your photo's you will have to contact the editor, ALLAN who has sadly died would have told you straight away but the site is not quite sorted at this time. I looked in electoral register for 1957 and there was a STEPHEN W ROACH living at number 26 with 2 others their name DAVIES.

Sorry Terence! I thought I had replied to you, if you Google Merthyr Tydfil Central library it will give you their Email and telephone contact details if you tell them what you need the dates and page numbers etc they will send you copies from the paper they don't charge very much for the service.
