Scope and Content

PHOTOGRAPH: War grave in France of R. Lewis Private with the Royal Welch Fusiliers.

He died 11th July 1916 aged 30 years.

Administrative / Biographical History

9.7 million military personnel lost their lives in World War One. 25% of those deaths were in France. 35,000 servicemen and women, as well as members of Welsh Regiments are among these. There is now a Welsh National Memorial Park, a war memorial in Langemark near Ypres (Belgium) for soldiers of World War I, located near the Pilkem Ridge in the former Ypres Salient. It commemorates the services of men and women from Welsh origin wherever they served during the Great War as part of the Allied Powers, as well as the non-Welsh soldiers serving in Welsh formations.
