H/1050 Staff Nurse Gladys Corfield Hughes, 2nd Reserve. Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Society. Died 6th November 1918.
ROLL OF HONOUR. - A Roll of Honour has been placed in Nantmawr Congregational Church, containing the names of sixty-seven "men serving, or who have served, with the colours, and who attended Nantmawr British School when boys." Of these five have been killed, fifteen wounded, and five invalided home from the Front through sickness. Three have been decorated for gallantry in the field, viz., Sergt. John Bailey, Distinguished Conduct Medal, and Corpl. Parry Roberts and Lance-Corporal Thomas Jones, Military Medals. The men have seen active service in Belgium, France, Gallipoli, Egypt, The Balkans, Sinai Peninsula, India, Hong Kong, Italy and Palestine. Nantmawr School is represented in English, Welsh, Australian and Canadian Forces, and has also been represented in practically every great battle of the war. For such a small place Nantmawr has a record to be proud of. The Roll of Honour is the work of Mr. C. W. Gillham.

Deceased had been a nurse for some time and had done much good service in France, and only recently took the appointment in London.

Poynter, who also officiated at Nantmawr Chapel and graveside, assisted by the Rev. J. Howells. The coffin, covered by the Union Jack, and conveyed on a gun carriage, was accompanied by a firing party and buglers from Park Hall Camp, and Sisters Rook and Cook (Red Cross nurses) also attended. The family mourners were Mr. T. Hughes (father), Messrs. F. A. and H. Hughes (brothers), Misses D. and S. Hughes (sisters), Mrs. A. Hughes (aunt), Messrs. J. Hughes and J. Hay (uncles), Messrs. J. Hughes, W. Hughes, Hbt. Hughes, Pte. James Hay, Mrs. Hughes, Misses B. and N. Hughes (cousins) and Miss Judson. The chapel was filled with sympathisers and a large number of wreaths were sent.
