Really interesting to visit Goytre Cemetery with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) and hear about the work of their volunteers who look after the headstones.

There are 23 locations across Aberafan Maesteg with CWGC war graves or memorials, commemorating over 200 individuals. Forty-six of these are in Goytre; eleven from World War I and 35 from World Ward II, including an unidentified airman and a Norwegian merchant seaman.

The volunteers do a wonderful job checking the headstones, cleaning and maintaining them.
