---

The Welsh Book of Remembrance from the First World War is a national treasure housed in Wales’ Temple of Peace in Cardiff. The book has been digitised and is now publicly searchable online at the Book of Remembrance,Wales.

The beautiful, leather bound Book of Remembrance contains on velum parchment, - illuminated in gold leaf, fine ink and calligraphy, the names of over 40,000 “men and women of Welsh birth and parentage, and of all those belonging to the regiments of Wales, who gave their lives in the war 1914-1918.”

Researched and compiled by hand through the 1920s by women working with renowned calligrapher Graily Hewitt of Lincoln’s Inn and the Gregynog Press, the book is the Roll of Honour to accompany the WW1 War Memorial in Cathays Park, opened by King Edward VII in 1928. Opposite Wales’ War Memorial, the Temple of Peace - opened in 1938 - was built to house the book, and in memory of those who had lost their lives.

59 soldiers who served in the Yorkshire Regiment are commemorated in the Welsh Book of Remembrance.
Their commemorations in the Welsh Book of Remembrance are shown in the pages below.

Buried LLANWNDA (ST. GWYNDAF) CHURCHYARD.
The following notes are from Robert Coulson's Biographies of Officers of the Yorkshire Regiment;-
" A Londoner, John Lloyd-Jones was born in the capital on June 1st 1891 and in 1910 attended Emmanuel College at Cambridge.
He went to France in October of 1914 serving in the ranks of the Artists Rifles and was then commissioned in March 1915, joining the 2nd Battalion in time for the Battle of Neuve Chapelle.
He fought in the early 1915 actions at Festubert and Givenchy where he was wounded in action and on one occasion,
“3 snipers had caused casualties and Lt Lloyd-Jones crawled up, bomb in hand and hurled his grenade killing two and blowing the hand off the other”.
He was promoted to Lieutenant after this action on June 18th 1915.
On home leave the following year, Lt John Lloyd-Jones died of septic pneumonia and pleurisy at Colwyn Bay in North Wales on March 11th 1916 aged 25.
His grave today can be seen in Llanwnda, St Gwyndaf Churchyard to the south west of Caernarvon.
Lt Jones was the son of Mr J W Jones of Holloway in London.
(The date of promotion to Captain is not found)."
Additionally, Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>) has provided the following biographical information on John Lloyd-Jones;-
" John Lloyd-Jones was living at Ingleside in Colwyn Bay when he died. He was a wealthy young man. He had effects of £30,412 (about £1,800,000 in today's money) which he left to his sister Edith Annie Lloyd Jones and Capt Arthur Stanley Davies (thought to have served with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and survived the war). His father John W Jones, who died in 1898, made his fortune as a silk mercer. The family money explains the impressive monument in a small country churchyard! Frances Annie his mother, who died in 1909, was a Lloyd before she married so it is debatable whether his name should be hyphenated as Lloyd was given to him and his sister as a middle name."
