In this section are some photographs of some of our Allied Nationals graves in Newport's St Woolos cemetery. The exception is John Byrne VC DCM who was born in Kilkenny, Ireland and was fighting for the British Army and at that time was a British National. As yet I am unable to give any account of these men other than what is written on their headstone but possibly in the future after more research, further information may become available.
