William J. Williams attended my grandfather Alfred A. Williams' funeral in Brynmawr on 1st July 1933
but his brother Arthur A. Williams did not.

There is a 'Pte. Williams A. A. SWB' listed under the dead 1914-1918 on the War memorial in Brynmawr, which could be Arthur A. Unfortunately there are so many Arthur Williams in the National Archives medals lists that it not possible to see if one was mine.

I would be most grateful for any information or any suggestions on how I shpould proceed.
