Glan Williams

[1] He was appointed City Cartoonist to the London Express Newspapers in 1930 and continued working in the 1930s as a political cartoonist for the Sunday and Daily Express while also contributing illustrations to stories in the Daily Herald.

[2] In 1940, he joined the Welsh Regiment but was posted to the camouflage unit in Norwich with Roland Penrose and Oliver Messel.

He also contributed cartoons for Reynolds News and continued to work for the paper after its merger with the Sunday Citizen until it closed in 1967.

[2] In remembering Glan, What's On in London said that his friends would miss "his ebullient conversation, which reflected his constant enthusiasm for old-time socialism, rugby football and all things Welsh."

Williams was married to Blanche "Lillie" Bunbury (née Ling) from 1948 until his death in London.
