I have recently received information from the owners os the S.W. Directories about a lady living in Rhiwderin who has found in her house a small plaque bearing the name of A.Garland who was killed by enemy action July 1941. He was one of the 35 people in Eveswell Street killed by the bombing raid on 1st July. I write for the Directory and I am investigating this death and wondering how this plaque ended up in Rhiwderin. It is hole in each corner and probably intended to be fixed to a wall or other vertical surface. Any ideas ?

Hello Shaun

Have photos, etc. of 'Geo' (George Leonard Morris)who served with Aust. 60th Infantry Battalion.


Mother (Rosa Maria Leonard) was my Dad's (Charles Henry Foster) Great Aunt & her brother Samuel Leonard who both raised him (3rd of 5 - reasons why unclear - Geo?).


Hence pictures, etc. of them passed down to me. Recently rummaging around family for info, etc.

All buried side by side in St Mary's Churchyard, Portskewett.


Have contacted Oz to have Geo's photo (2 x full length portrait in uniform) inc. on their Roll of Honour, etc.


Appreciate if you can confirm possible having drafted email to contact NCS - but they do not use outlook or whatever?


Regards

I have visited Havelock Street Chapel in Newport. There is a marble plaque to the memory of members of the chapel who were killed in the 2 world wars. My great uncle, Ernest Frank Davies is listed. Frank is also memorialised in Bernafy Wood Cemetery, at Llandovery College, on the NHS list at St Mark's, and on the family tomb in St Woolo's Cemetery. I have a photo of the plaque.

Thank you Shaun for all your work and research and time spent in getting Pte William Selwood recognised as one of WW1s brave war dead by the War Graves Commission. An excellent website. We will remember them.

Antony Selwood

Hi Shaun, I see you want to know where Wesley Buildings was. Opposite The King pub (now demolished) was Wesley Buildings. It was a Weslian church but was converted into houses. Thank you for the great web site, my grandmother was married to William Henry Selwood. Her youngest brother Wyndham Coldrick is also named on your website. God bless all that are named from Newport.
