Summary

Description
English: War Memorial Gates, Aberbargoed

On the east side of Commercial Street, near the junction with the A469 link road. The War Memorial Gates were erected "In Glorious Memory of Those who fell in the Great War 1914-1918".

The War Memorial Gates bear a plaque, added by the Royal British Legion in 2002, commemorating Glyndwr Michael (1909-1943), a native of Aberbargoed. After his death, he was The Man Who Never Was, a strategy which played a major part in the course of World War II. His corpse, disguised as a Royal Marines officer, was put into the Mediterranean with a briefcase containing documents which convinced the Germans that the Allies planned to attack Greece in the summer of 1943. The real target was Italy.
