In the churchyard of the Holy Trinity Church at Bryngwran (previously known as Llechylched) there is a gravestone bearing a memorial to Private Thomas Jones of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Welsh Fusiliers, who died on December 12th 1920, sometime after the war had ended.
As he died at home it is reasonable to assume that he either died of wounds received in battle or due to a disease he caught whilst on active service.
Thomas’s wife – Jane Jones – was in the early 1920s, living at 60, High Street, Bryngwran, so I presume that was their marital home, although it is possible she only moved there after his demise. His family home was Tai’r Lon, Bryngwran, the home of John and Margaret Jones – his parents.
