George Gifford was my grandfather's brother. I remember Ernald from when I was a child in London.

Good evening,
I have recently completed some research on the Western Mail Ltd Roll of Honour (Item 2017.66 in your collection), specifically on the names of the 21 men that fell in WWI.
It has been a sad but at the same time fascinating bit of research.
It is published here on our Roath Local History Society Website at: https://roathlocalhistorysociety.org/local-history/war-memorials/western-mail-roll-of-honour/
I also have a pfd version that I would be happy to send you that could maybe be stored with the item?

Among the discoveries were:
Daniel Davies - brother of the editor Sir William Davies.
Harry Dimery - his framed medal display was fond in a second hand shop in Barry and has now been donated to a museum.
Theodore Dreher - his parents were German and had a jewellery shop in Barry.
George Gifford - his parents were in service, his mother Balbina Basteracha coming from the Basque region of Spain. His parents lived long lives and were married for 70 years. His son became a sports journalist in London.
Harold Harris - a wrestler who won a Welsh championship at Roath Park.
Idwal Humphreys - son a Baptist minister and Bard who won the crown at the National Eisteddfod in 1904.
Harry Pickard - won a Military Cross for bravery. His son George studied physics at Oxford and joined the RAF and invented infra-red detection and bombsight design contributed to anti-submarine attack techniques and the Dam-Busters attacks on the Ruhr Dam.
Launcelot Shipton- born in Florida. As an aside, his niece, Dr Margaret Shotton, Consultant Obstetrician, delivered Britain’s first sextuplets at Birmingham’s Maternity hospital in 1968.
