R. Henry Thomas

 During the First World War, only one man named R. Henry Thomas is recorded as having died, making him the most likely individual commemorated on the St. Paul’s war memorial, Sketty. Unlike more common names that require careful distinction between several possible identities, the case of R. Henry Thomas appears comparatively straightforward. However, further research into census records, military service documents, and local family connections would help to confirm his background and provide a more complete account of his life and sacrifice.
