G'day Bill
You would need to know which newspapers were current at the time. Try
visiting the British Library's newspaper website
http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/newspapers/welcome.asp It has a search facility
and should tell you what newspapers were available at the time in
Abertillery.
When you have the newspaper names you might then contact the Cwmbran Records
Office to find if they have microfilm or hard copy of the relevant
newspapers. From there you may have to ask for help from the members of the
list or a relative who lives in the area. However, there might not be an
obituary with lots of information, just a barebones announcement of his
death giving regimental details and place and date of death.
Hope this helps

I just discovered that Absalom GRINDLE who was killed in WWI is in my family
tree. How would I go about getting a copy of his death announcement from
the local paper in Abertilly? Thank you.
Bill
