Best translation of the Welsh“O’r ysol aer i’r oesol hedd” is
“From the corrosive air to the eternal peace”.(Rev P Barnett)

Two other sides of the memorial have names from WW1.
A great number of soldiers fell 1939-45, but very often the
number of fallen 1914-18 is about 3 times bigger.
This pattern is seen on many local memorials in
Western Europe. It was The Great War.
