About the memorial: The inscription on this family gravestone reveals the loss of two sons in wartime service: one in the First World War and another, decades later, in the Second World War. Private Robert Jones of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers was killed in action in 1917, aged 18, and is buried at Fins New British Cemetery in France. The inscription includes a verse telling of the family’s “grief for one we loved so well”. Private Roderick Griffydd Jones had died of wounds in 1944 while serving with the Royal Pioneer Corps. He had been taking part in the Allied invasion of Italy. He was 31 years old and is buried in Naples War Cemetery.
