Description

The Welsh at War Through Mud to Victory: Third Ypres and the 1918 Offensives by Steven John is a comprehensive account of the experiences of Welsh soldiers during World War I. Over twelve years of research have gone into this trilogy, which chronicles the bravery and sacrifice of four regular regiments - the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, South Wales Borderers, Welsh Guards, and Territorial Monmouthshire Regiment - as well as various Yeomanry units. Welsh troops fought in every theatre of the war, from the Western Front to Aden and India, earning recognition for acts of gallantry. This book covers all major actions and incidents involving each of these regiments, including stories of individual casualties and compelling photographs of their final resting places. By exploring the events and battles that Welshmen took part in, this book also sheds light on the experiences of airmen, soldiers shot at dawn, rugby players who fell, and others who died in non-Welsh units. Through its detailed and well-researched narrative, The Welsh at War Through Mud to Victory: Third Ypres and the 1918 Offensives provides a unique insight into the history of World War I from a Welsh perspective.
