On our recent trip to Brecon we managed to visit more Rorkes Drift defenders graves ,the 1st was Edmund (Edward )Savage who passed away in 1893 and is buried at St Cathays Cardiff ,the second James Hagan who died in 1916 and is buried at Glyntaff in Pontyprid.The last was Gunner Abraham Evans who passed in 1915 he is buried at Varteg Chapel near pontypool ,this was our second attempt to find Abraham our first visit the entire site was waist deep in nettles this time most of the area had been cleared. Three more of the lesser known heroes of that heroic fight.
