Private 14175 William Richards was a member of the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry who was killed in the Battle of Ypres in September 1917. He is commemorated in the Tyne Cot Cemetry in Belgium.
He was born in South Wales and in 1901 lived in Tylorstown in Glamorgan, where he is ten years old on the Census.
We have dug up Williams First World War British Service Medal on our allotment site in Great Barr, Birmingham. The medal must have been presented postumously to his family who may have moved to the Midlands like many other Welsh families between and after the World Wars. We would like to return the medal to any relative.
I have made all the usual enquiries to trace any living family relative but drawn a blank. Can any person assist? Williams parents were called John and Margaret and lived at 13 Hendrafadog Street, Tylors Town at the time of the 1901 Census.
