My mum found the burial docket for her great grandfather but I can't decipher the name of the ground so I can't go and find the grave. Can anyone help me please? It is in Newport, Wales and I live a long way away from there.
There is quite a tale to the man as he was a signalman who was witness to a fatal train crash but his heroic action averted a worse one and in so doing he saved the midnight mail. He then nearly had a similar experience a month later and collapsed in his signal box and died of nervous shock.
