IT WAS nice to see the article in the Argus on Monday about the History Points QR codes and the mobile tour of Newport. I was contacted by the editor of History Points, Rhodri Clark, in 2013 and asked if I would allow them to copy all the information about the war dead of Newport from my Newport’s War Dead website.
I am very pleased to say that the names of those who gave their lives for us from Newport can now be read at both the Cenotaph and also the names of the mercantile marine and merchant navy men lost at sea, including some who are not recognised as war dead by the CWGC, at the MN memorial on Cardiff Road. Hopefully, all will never be forgotten.
