Research carried out by the Grangetown Local History Society discovered that the names of many people from the area who died were not added to the memorial when it was first erected in the early 1920s.

In partnership with Mossfords Ltd a bronze plaque in memory of those whose ‘names are not recorded here’ has been added to the Grade 2 listed war memorial in Grange Gardens to remember their sacrifice.

Cabinet Member with responsibility for Bereavement Services, Cllr Michael Michael, said:  “The sacrifices made by those who fought and died on our behalf should never be forgotten.  This plaque ensures that, in this important centenary year, every Grangetown resident who lost their life in the service of our country is honoured in the place they called home.”

The original memorial was erected using funds raised by voluntary subscription by the “Grangetown War Heroes Memorial Committee” and was designed by Henry Charles Fehr (1867-1940) who also designed the dragon on City Hall.
