Gaerwen War Memorials

The village of Gaerwen on Anglesey has a most impressive Celtic Cross War Memorial, upon which is engraved the names of the servicemen that died as a result of enemy action in World war One (WWI). A later stone plaque was added to the plinth with the names of the fallen of World war Two (WWII).
A worthy monument situated on the main road and just a very short distance from St Michael’s Church (Llanfihangel Ysceifiog).
