	Skelton, John Edwin, 6, 19th June 1940, From the Dover Memorial web site. John Edwin Skelton, aged 6, was drowned at Cwmbran just a few days after he had been evacuated with his brother. He had been billeted with Mr and Mrs William Jenkins, of 31 Oak Street, Cwmbran. He had left the house about 9.30 on 19 June 1940 with his brother Billy to go out to play, and two girls remembered giving him a swing at the Cwmbran playground. He had later been sitting on a rock while Billy bathed in the Clay Hole Pool. At the junction of Grange Road and Llantarnam Road, the Pool was a water-filled pit up to 60 feet deep in places, which had been abandoned by the Star Brick and Tile Company some 15 years previously. From that moment, despite extensive searches, including swimming searches and a dive search of the Pool, John was not seen again. His body was eventually recovered from the Pool on 10 July. He was buried on 13 July 1940 at Cwmbran cemetery, with the funeral service taking place in the cemetery chapel. A pupil at the Pier infants' school, fair-haired and blue-eyed, John was the son of Mr Arthur Skelton, of King Lear's Way, Dover, and his wife Amelia, née Blogg. Amelia was the sister of James Blogg, who died on 18 November 1916.
