All Saints' Church is located at the lower end of Brynglas Road in Newport (Gwent). The War Memorial outside commemorates the dead of the First World War with the dedication;-
"To the Glory of God and in Honoured Memory of the Men of this Parish who gave their Lives in the Great War 1914 - 1919".

Above the main plaque is a small tablet erected by ex-Servicemen of the Second World War, though there are no names on it.

Amongst the many names on the First World War commemoration is that of one soldier who served with the Yorkshire Regiment.
