First World War Graves and Memorials in Gwent by Ray Westlake

For publication in April 2001, this unique and carefully researched volume describes war graves and monuments in Gwent commemorating those who served and those who fell during the Great War 1914-1918. Each site is carefully reseatched, documented and described by the author, while details of individuals whose sacrifice was particularly noteworthy, are dealt with in the narrative. In this, the first of several volumes dealing with war graves and memorials within the county of Gwent, the author has recorded, in many cases for the first time, some 260 memorials and 414 war graves. The names of nearly 9,000 men and women, who served and in so many cases died during the First World War, are recorded. Each memorial is described, while inscriptions and dedications are fully detailed within the text. Some 120 photographs support this unique reference work.
