Joshua was born and raised in Dolgellau, Merionethshire. His parents, Griffith and Jane Pugh lived in Fronallt Cottage in the town.
Very little information exists on Joshua. He left Dolgellau to live in South Wales and lived with his wife Ann in Merthyr Vale, Glamorgan.
The circumstances of Joshua's death are unknown other than he was with the Royal Field Artillery in Belgium when he died.
He is buried in Mendinghem Military Cemetery, Poperinghe, Belgium. He is commemorated on the War Memorial in Dolgellau.
We will remember him.
