In Memory of all those from the community who have died in conflict
Although it is outside of the Mumbles & Oystermouth Parish, we are recording 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 soon revealed that he was named on the memorial at Murton Methodist Church.
