Thank you Greensleeves - that's quite a photo!  And I'm most grateful for your help.
Best wishes,

Hello Greensleeves,

Thanks for your response - I couldn't see a photo, though.  Yes, it must have been Bronllys as he had TB, although I was always told he was in a sanitorium in Talgarth.  I don't know when he was admitted or when he was discharged but he married my Mum in 1944, so this all happened during the war.  Do you know if they still keep the records there?

I live in Bronllys, and often walk to that quiet corner of the churchyard where the unmarked graves lie.  A few of them do have small engraved  plaques attached, but many are just numbers.  If I can help anyone with an interest in those laid to rest here, I would be  happy to do so, and to take any photographs required.

Regards,
Greensleeves

Hi Greensleeves,  I've only just found this website and joined! Hope you are still in Bronllys?  My Dad missed WWII as he had TB and stayed in the sanatorium there.  In fact, I was told he had one of the first operations on the lung there (but not sure if that's just a family story).  Do you know if there are any patient records available where I could find out any more about my Dad's stay there?  From previous messages, you seem to be quite an authority on the area and a great help to lots of people!

Regards,
TomandEric
