London Welsh Rugby club unveiled a commemorative plaque to honour the lives of the clubs players who fell during World War One, including Charles Gerald Taylor of Ruabon.
The memorial took place on Saturday afternoon at Old Deer Park, the home of the Exiles.
The club paid tribute to the 23 men, who made the ultimate sacrifice during the 1914-1918 Great War.
One of which was Engineer Captain Charles Gerald Taylor.
Taylor was the first of 13 capped Wales players to lose their lives in the conflict, during the Battle of Dogger Bank in 1915 when the HMS Tiger was hit by a shell.
He was Engineer-Captain on the Royal Navy battlecruiser when it was hit, and killed instantly.At the age of 51, he was the fourth oldest rugby international to die during the Great War.
From Ruabon, Wrexham, where his father Reverand Alfred Taylor was headmaster at Ruabon Grammar School, Taylor was also a member of the very first London Welsh team, when they met in October 1885 as a club for Welsh 'exiles' living in London.
He made is international debut for Wales in 1884 against England and his final appearance came three years later against Ireland.
Altogether five Welsh capped players from the London club died in the war.
London Welsh were joined by the Welsh Guards and the Mayor of Richmond as they honoured their fallen club members.
