Relocated Trelewis War Memorial. The War Memorial was officially unveiled on Captains Hill on May 31st 1925 as a memorial to the 45 men of Trelewis who died in the Great War. Its original location had by 1999 become isolated, because of mine closures and reshaping of the landscape. It was also suffering some vandalism and beginning to look unkempt and neglected. Thus in 2002, after 3 years of fund-raising by volunteers, a team of Royal Monmouthshire Engineers moved the statue to its new location here, set above the west side of the B4255 near the Ffaldcaiach Inn. Link The rededication of the War Memorial was on June 23rd 2002, after a march of war veterans through the village.
