The plaque reads, "In memory of the graduate of Aberystwyth University and Cambridge University, Gareth Richard Vaughan Jones (b. 1905) - one of the first journalists to report on the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-1933."

Gareth Jones, a Welsh journalist, witnessed the Holodomor in Ukraine with his own eyes and reported on it in the Western press. His reporting was published in newspapers such as the "Manchester Guardian" and the "New York Evening Post."
