Although it is outside the Mumbles & Oystermouth Parish, we ae including research from Bishopston Parish because early in our research, it was discovered that Oystermouth Council School Roll of Honour,
published in The South Wales Daily Post, 3 March 1916
included Lance Corpl. Stanley JONES, who was not listed on
All Saints' Church Great War Memorial,
but attended school in Oystermouth.
It was later revealed that he and his brother, Pte. Thomas Jones
were named on the memorials in Bishopston Parish
