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. ?
