Did you know that more than a thousand participants in World War 1 had Abergele connections? They were people from Abergele, nearby surrounding areas, and people from beyond Wales with Abergele connections. The list has been researched by Andrew Hesketh, who has lived in Abergele since the turn of the millennium and is a teacher in Conwy.
This is one of a series of pages on AbergelePost.com which publishes the names in serialised form, ending up on 28 July – 100 years after the beginning of WWI.
The Regiment, where shown, is usually the last known regiment of the 1914-1919 period. When the principal experience of service personnel has been with a former regiment, this is shown instead.
I asked Andrew Hesketh about the difference between Abergele Urban and Abergele Rural. He explains:
“It refers to the demarcation between the Urban and Rural authorities which in reality seem surprisingly blurred and really only became significant from 1916 following the introduction of conscription.
“Depending on whether you were Urban or Rural there was a different appeals tribunal. In very generalised terms, the ‘rural’ is areas beyond the confines of what today might be regarded as the actual town of Abergele but within the wider district, i.e Penyffordd Cottages, Moelfre, Foryd.
“Confusingly though, on my listing one man from Moelfre may be listed as such, and another be listed as Abergele Rural, despite being from Moelfre.”
So here is the third installment of Andrew Hesketh’s list of WWI participants from the Abergele Rural area:
