Graves

There are five graves designated as war graves by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, with one the resting place of two brothers from the Hughes family. Due to the condition of the graveyard the deaths of these servicemen are also commemorated on a screen-wall in Cardiff Western Cemetery.

The location of one of the war graves, that of Sapper W. Jacobs (Royal Engineers) is yet to be confirmed. Identifying this grave will be a priority as the graveyard is cleared and access is gained to all graves.

The picture above show these graves:

• Able Seaman J.H. Edwards of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve who died on 16th March 1920. The headstone has fallen, but is unbroken and its inscription is clear.

• Trumpeter Edward Llewellyn Hughes of the 2nd 1st Welsh Howitzer Battery, Royal Field Artillery, who died 24th December 1916. Corporal Brinley Clement Hughes of the Royal Field Artillery who died 30th October 1918.
