The following document shows the days up to and including the 2nd Battle of Frezenberg during WW1.
George Harry Hyde joined up to the 1st Battalion of the Monmouthshire Regiment almost immediately after the call was made. After some training, he disembarked on the 13 Feb 1915 – and died in the action of 8 May 1915, just 3 months on the front line.
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:
