4481 born 1885 Llanfwrog with next of kin at Llanrhrydd St Ruthin served 1908 - 1911 in the RWF.  No record of a death in WW1.

I find no CWGC entry for anyone with number 652402 or John R Roberts in any regiment.

No medal card for either.

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

Try the Llangollen Advertiser on https://papuraunewydd.llyfrgell.cymru. At least 3 John Roberts's mentioned. One from Berwyn St serving in  15th London Rifles, another from Church St and a 47 year old in Monmouthshire Reg who died in Oswestry Cottage hospital.

A search for John Roberts between 1914 and 1919 gave over 200 results. I found the above in the first 3 pages.

"John R Roberts" gave only 3 results, none of which appears relevant.
