At this time of the year, as we remember those who gave their lives in service to their country, it is fitting to bring this to your attention.
A local lady has been painstakingly trying to unravel the mystery of a name on the Hawarden War Memorial that we have referred to before on the WLS site. Her name is Mavis Williams and she is to be congratulated for her efforts. I believe she has proved beyond doubt that David E Jones, remembered on the War Memorial, should commemorate his son, David Henry Bray Jones, both formerly of No. 1 North Green, WLS, Sealand.

Hopefully, this innocent mistake can be rectified in the near future in order to get the right person on the monument. We should add that this takes nothing away from the valuable service to his country that was given by David E Jones during WW1 as Mavis states in her work.
