clive_hughes Posted 15 September , 2013 Share Posted 15 September , 2013 Two John Joneses from Anglesey who served and died the same day...Cofiwn hwynt - We shall remember them. John Jones RWF is buried at Llangeinwen (the only war grave in that little churchyard) and was born in that parish, but is commemorated under neighbouring Llanfairynycwmwd on the North Wales Heroes Memorial Arch in Bangor. He was medically discharged in April 1916 and his parents were resident at Rhengc Fawr in the latter parish. Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
