The Parish of Conwyl Gaio sits about 8 miles NNW of Llandovery. Within the parish sit the villages of Caio, Llandyfeisant, Llansawel, Llanwrda & Llanycrwys. I only have a photo of the Llanwrda War Memorial at the moment, and so my transcripts for the other villages are based on data from the original Carmarthen County War Memorial, the CWGC and SDGW.

Many Thanks to Dave Hanson for his photograph of the War Memorial.
