This is an online memorial of local casualties of World War I, prepared by Grangetown Local History Society in Cardiff to mark the centenary of the war (1914-1918).

Most of the names appear on the memorial in Grange Gardens but we have also discovered other names during the project, which are included separately below In 2018, a plaque was added to the war memorial, to commemorate the men and women not included in 1921. Some details of some casualties remain unknown. If you have any details, family information or photos of descendants, please get in touch with us by emailing grangetownwar@yahoo.co.uk. You can also follow the project on Twitter @GrangetownWWI

We are grateful to those people who have helped with suggestions, stories, and with information from their own research. Merchant Navy and Royal Navy casualties are shaded blue; women casualties amber and any additional inclusions after the publication of our book, It Touched Every Street in November 2018 are highlighted in green.
