In this blogpost, I explore the life of one of the hundreds of First World War service patients who passed through the wards of Glamorgan County Lunatic Asylum.
Coincidentally, I discovered today that my great-uncle "E Jones" was at the Somme, Passchendaele, Cambrai, Ypres and spent the rest of his life in mental hospitals in Kent (Bedlam) and Wales.
Sad yet human story brought to life. Thank you.
An all too common story in the period, I fear. Thank you for telling these peoples stories.

Really? It's a small world. Thankfully my ancestors managed to survive the Wars largely unscathed.
