Rhyl Garden of Remembrance

 

Join me was we explore Rhyl Garden of Remembrance.

More than just a memorial for World War 1 and World War 2, the gardens also commemorate the fallen of The Boer War and more recent conflicts, including the Falkand Islands, Iraq and Afhganistan.

I reveal the story of just one of the hundreds of names listed here.

Discover a very unusual memorial plaque dedicated to the Belgian Refugees who came to Rhyl during The Great War.

With several nuggets of interest along the way.

If you’d like to research the stories of any of the conflicts or people named here, there are many useful resources and websites on the internet.

For The Great War, I highly recommend www.longlongtrail.co.uk
