The above pages are based on the coverage of the 1914-18 War in the Aberdare Leader. My focus has been on providing a compilation of those soldiers, and nurses, from Mountain Ash and Penrhiwceiber whose photos appeared in the Leader. I have also sought to collate further articles that seem relevant and appropriate to those named as well as information from other sources where I have been able to do so.

The somewhat poor quality of the photos does not detract from their significance to family and local historians.

I have corrected the available OCR’d text and transcribed articles omitted by the OCR process. No doubt errors remain that are mine and not the Leader’s. Before relying on any of the material, checking the original article is always worthwhile: bear in mind, though, that the Leader is a secondary source and is not error-free. I will add, in time, links to the articles to make that process a little easier.

The Aberdare Leader itself can be browsed, among other Welsh newspapers, at the National Library of Wales’ National Newspaper website.

If you see anything that looks like an error, please let me know so that I may correct it.

A list of names is shown below, linked to the page on which the details appear. The address shown is taken from the articles and might not be the address at which the named person lived but that of a relative.
