ANDREW DAVIES died on 29 March 1918 after service with the Labour Corps. Aged 23, he was the son of David and Ann Davies of Awelfryn, 33 Wern Road, Skewen. Andrew's death was attributed to his war service but sadly his resting place was not commemorated as a War Grave.
Does anyone know where Andrew Davies is buried. ?

Since 2015 the CWGC have been trying to identify Soldiers Discharged owing to Injuries incurred during the War and subsequently Died of those injuries but Buried without a CWGC Military Headstone
Contact them
They will research and find where he is Buried
And arrange for a CWGC Headstone to be placed on his Plot- Now !
