Commonwealth War Grave Talgarth

There is a World War One war grave at the Mid Wales Hospital Talgarth Powys opened in 1903 and closed in 1999 . It is of J Lewis 2940 Private who died there October 20th 1915. At the time it was called the Brecon and Radnorshire joint counties Luniatic Asylum. From the discription we can see that he had some mental disorder. He was from Swansea and belonged to the 1/6th Glamorgan Battalion,a terratorial battalion. He is the only soldier to be buried on this site in an overgrown cemetery where the rest of the so called lunatics were buried 3 to a grave which were unmarked. the shrubbery behind and all around this grave contain those graves and how many there are we don't know.
