Jones played for several rugby clubs but was selected for Welsh international duty while with Newport and Pontypool.
His first cap was against the 1912 touring South Africans and although Wales lost the game, he was reselected a few months later to face England in the 1913 Five Nations Championship.
The match was to be played at the Balmoral Showgrounds in Belfast on 14 March, and the Welsh team had travelled out to Ireland the day before.
Jones and fellow Newport team mate Harry Uzzell decided to visit a local theatre in the night before the match.
