Pte. William Edward Griffiths
British Army Swansea Battalion Welsh Regiment
from:39 Freeman Street, Brynhyfryd, Swansea
(d.10 July 1916)
Private William Griffiths was the son of my Wife's Grandparents, John and Mary Griffiths. He was killed in action at Mametz Wood, aged twenty, and was interred at South West Corner Mametz Wood, near Albert, France. The family attended Libanus Baptist Church, Cwmbwrla, in Swansea and his memorial card includes the following verse from the Psalms, reflecting the family's Christian background:
'In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.'
