Walking into Abergavenny from the cricket ground, the memorial to the 3rd Battalion Monmouthshire Regiment stands looking down the main street.
It honours the men from the regiment who died during the First World War and the Second World War.
The Abergavenny Market Hall holds the war memorial for the district.
The white marble honour board lists the 276 names of men from the region who died during the First World War. (War Memorials Online)
Nearby is a framed plaque erected by the employees in the Locomotive Department London & North
Western Railway, Abergavenny and Sub-Station in memory of their fellow
workmen who lost their lives in the Great War 1914-1918. (Military images) Two names of servicemen who died during the Second World War have been added.
Also in the hall is a list of the names of those from the area who died during the Second World War and Afghanistan. (War Memorials Online)
