First World War Roll of Honour

During the First World War hundreds of police officers from South Wales Police’s predecessor forces of Glamorgan, Cardiff, Swansea, Merthyr and Neath served in the armed forces.

As part of our First World War Project we have identified 94 who died as a result of the War.

The majority of them are remembered on the Glamorgan Police War Memorial at Police Headquarters in Bridgend, the Cardiff City Police Memorial Plaque in the Cardiff Bay Police Station, the Swansea Borough Police Memorial in the Central Police Station in Swansea and the Merthyr Tydfil Borough Police Memorial in the Merthyr Police Station. There is also a Glamorgan Constabulary Roll of Honour in the Heritage Centre at Police Headquarters.

As a result of our research, here we present a Roll of Honour which brings together brief details of each of those who died from the Glamorgan, Cardiff, Swansea and Merthyr forces (there appear to have been none from the Neath Police). More information on them can be found in the booklets, links to which are on the previous page.

They will never be forgotten.

They are all remembered with pride.
