HENRY BELT WW1 TREDEGAR
« on: Thursday 21 August 25 15:03 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help?
I am trying to establish the burial place of HENRY  BELT who died on 24 Dec 1917 after serving with the South Wales Borderers. Aged 28, he died at 86a Charles Street, Tredegar.
Initial inquiries to Blaenau Gwent Council have failed to find any trace of him in Dukestown or Cefn Golau cemeteries.
Does anyone have any idea where Henry Belt is buried? Any information, including death or obituary notices, could be vitally important.
Henry Belt died as a result of war service and is entitled to War Grave status - if proof of burial can be established. Help would be much appreciated.
