Remembrance Sunday: Man visiting grave of every hometown soldier
Mr Hughes has already travelled to Israel and Greece and plans to visit Serbia later in the year, following by a trip to the far east, taking in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, India and Indonesia.
“When I was out in Israel, in the city of Beersheba, I visited the grave of a Llandudno lad called Thomas Ivor Jones and the headstone had his address in the town.
“It’s strange to be standing there and realise that this corner of a far-off country is forever a part of Llandudno.”
He said it had been lovely to speak with the families of the fallen who had not had a chance to visit.
“It’s very poignant to think that I am possibly the first person from Llandudno to visit them since they died.”
