War Diary May1915 – 1stMons

On May 8th this year, Rob and family had a quick visit to Belgium to attend the 100 year anniversary of the Monmouthshire Regiment’s involvement in the Battle of Frezenberg, where over 450 of the regiment were killed between 6 – 8 May 1915.

We visited to remember George Harry Hyde, who was killed on 8 May 1915, and along with 454 of his comrades.

The story of George and our visit is here:
