Ystalyfera Fallen
War Graves & Remembrance Graves
Lloyds Bank Memorial, Ystalyfera
In 1921 Lloyds Bank created a memorial, presumably at their HeadQuarters, listing the names of their employees who were killed in action in the First World War. Each branch received a photographic engraving of this memorial, including the Lloyds Bank in Ystalyfera, which is now where the children's nursery is, next to the war memorial in Commercial Street.
The Lloyds Bank memorial contained the name of one local man, Mr Llew B Elsmere who was killed in action.
A photogravure of the memorial recently unveiled at Lloyds Bank by Sir Richard Vasser, president of the bank, to members who fell in the Great War has been presented to each local branch. One has been received by the local branch at Ystalyfera and when framed will be hung in the office. It will be interesting to note that the memorial contains one local name - the late Mr Llew B Elsmere, eldest son of Mr and Mrs Elsmere, late of Alltygrug Road - who was killed in action. Any relatives of the fallen whose names are inscribed on this memorial may have one of these photogravures by applying through the local branch.
