WAR MEMORIAL
World
War 1 - Roll of Honour with detailed information
Compiled and copyright © Martin Edwards 2008
The
Llangeitho war memorial stands in The Square, Llangeitho. It takes
the form of a white marble statue of a standing soldier with hands
clasped above reversed rifle; the whole surmounts a tall red, granite,
pedestal which is chamfered from the top to the plinth. There are
14 names for World War 1 which have been sorted here into alphabetical
order for ease of research and reading. The sculptor was E Jones
and the memorial was unveiled 28th March 1921. As the names and
inscription here have been taken from the photograph which is from
the original unveiling there may be World War 2 additions that have
been omitted.
