War memorial and roll of honour, Presbyterian Church, Llandrindod Wells

Photographs and extracts from the programme for the unveiling and dedication in remembrance of the fallen in the Great War, 1914-1918, June 11th 1922. Officiating minister: Revd S. George.

William J. Powell (father of Walter Powell) was an elder and secretary/treasurer of the Presbyterian Church in Ithon Road, Llandrindod. He and his wife Clara lost two sons, Percy and Clifford, both died of wounds, and their youngest son returned from France in 1919, safe, but suffering the effects of being gassed. W.J. Powell's younger brother Humphrey also died of his wounds. The war memorial was unveiled in 1922 and was a gift from William and Clara Powell. Walter's notes record that "Father presented it in memory of fallen Tommies". The diaries of W.J. Powell (also part of this collection) show that a roll of honour was being kept in the church throughout the war, and this particular memorial was erected in 1918, completed in 1922. It shows the names of all the men from the congregation who served (about 95-100) - not only those killed (22 men).

Part of a collection relating to Walter H. Powell, Llandrindod Wells, (private / driver M2-267205 Mechanised Transport Army Service Corps). Born 1898, Walter tried to join up under-age on a number of occasions, finally succeeding in 1916. He served many months - (more than 2 years?) - in different army units in Britain, before going over to France. He served as a despatch rider for an anti-aircraft battery in 1918-1919. Walter was gassed "suffering the effects all his life". He was a founder member of Toc-H in Llandrindod, and a keen footballer - he died in 1994 aged 96. However Walter's older brothers (Cliff and Percy Powell) and his uncle (Humphrey Powell) died of wounds sustained during the war.

威廉·J·鲍威尔（沃尔特·鲍威尔之父）曾任兰德里诺德市艾瑟恩路长老会（Presbyterian Church）长老兼秘书/司库。他与妻子克拉拉先后痛失两子：珀西与克利福德，二人均因战伤不治身亡；幼子则于1919年从法国平安返国，但终生受毒气战后遗症困扰。W·J·鲍威尔的弟弟汉弗莱亦因战伤离世。这座战争纪念碑于1922年揭幕，由威廉与克拉拉·鲍威尔夫妇捐赠。沃尔特的笔记中记载："Father presented it in memory of fallen Tommies"。W·J·鲍威尔的日记（亦为本馆藏一部分）显示，战争期间教堂始终留存着荣誉名册，该纪念碑始建于1918年，1922年正式完工。碑上刻有该堂会所有参战人员（约95至100人）的姓名，不仅限于阵亡者（共22人）。

本馆藏系兰德里诺德威尔斯的沃尔特·H·鲍威尔相关藏品的一部分。沃尔特曾为陆军勤务队（Army Service Corps）机械化运输部队（Mechanised Transport）列兵/驾驶员，编号M2-267205。他生于1898年，曾多次以未成年身份尝试参军，最终于1916年如愿入伍。在开赴法国前，他先后在英国境内多支部队服役数月（存疑：或超两年）。1918至1919年间，他担任防空炮兵连的传令兵。沃尔特曾遭毒气袭击，终生受其后遗症困扰。他是兰德里诺德市托奇（Toc H）分会的创始成员之一，亦是狂热的足球爱好者，于1994年逝世，享年96岁。值得一提的是，沃尔特的两位兄长克利夫·鲍威尔与珀西·鲍威尔，以及叔父汉弗莱·鲍威尔均在战争中因战伤身亡。
