Rhyl soldier who died in 1916 to receive new commemorative headstone

2nd Corporal James Owen Jones, of the Railway Operating Division of the Royal Engineers, died in 1916. He was buried in Rhyl Town Cemetery, maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), which is appealing for the location of his relatives as it is due to produce a new headstone. “The private memorial marking the grave of 2nd Corporal Jones no longer provides adequate commemoration,” according to the CWGC appeal listing. “The Commission is in the process of producing a headstone to mark his grave.” According to an army service record on Ancestry, Mr Jones was born in 1882. The 1901 Census states that Mr Jones was from Rhyl and lived on Greenfield Street (Mill Bank) with parents James and Jane Jones and his elder siblings Elizabeth, then aged 24, and John, aged 21.
