Even a tiny village like Ysbyty Ifan sacrificed its young men to the First World War. This memorial commemorates eight such honourable, couageous men who fought for their country.
The inscription on the memorial’s tapered shaft reads: Rhyfel Mawr 1914-18. Teyrnged Yspytty i’w meibion gollwyd. ‘Yn anghof ni chant fod’. This translates as: The Great War 1914-18. Yspytty’s tribute to its sons who were lost. ‘They shall not be forgotten’. Yspytty Ifan was then a common alternative spelling for the village’s name.
Please read these names with respect and remember the sorrow their loss caused to so many families.
