Bear in mind that people of that era looked older than their equivalent today

Have you done anything in the way of research?

'Of' Aberdare - does that mean it was where he was born? Or merely his home address at the time?

Registration district for Aberdare is Merthr Tydfil

I am looking for a David Richard Jones of Aberdare who served in the army in WW2 and was a guard at Marbury POW Camp near Northwich in Cheshire. I do not have his DOB only a picture in which he is with other guards. He was a sergeant and looks to be aged between 35 - 45 years of age. He was believed to be unmarried at this time.
