I鈥檇 like to introduce you to my father, Richard William Edwards, or Bill to his friends. He lived in number 3 Prospect Place, Tylorstown in the Rhondda Valley. His father was a collier.
Along with many men of his age, he took an active part in World War Two. I'm very proud of him, even though he was just an ordinary soldier. No acts of extreme bravery here I'm sorry to say.听 I've gathered together some of his photographs and some of the things that he's left behind from that era. Perhaps with my help and guidance, you will be able to find out more about Bill鈥檚 war.
