Reminder - 5th November at Cwmbran Library 11.00 am and 2 pm.



They Fought With Pride looks at the lives and experiences of the men who fought on the Western Front with the 2nd Battalion, The Monmouthshire Regiment during World War One. The Battalion were mobilised for active service on August 4th, 1914 and remained on active service in Germany with the Army of Occupation until May, 1919. In 1914 the Battalion was very much made up of men from Abercarn, Blaenavon, Crumlin, Cwmbran, Llanhilleth. Monmouth, Usk and Pontypool. The book provides a valuable insight and memorial to those who served with the Battalion and would appeal to those with an interest in Local or Family History and The First World War. The book is £12.95 in hardback, contains 118 pages and over 140 photographs.



The launch will take place at Cwmbran Library on the 5th November, between 11.00 am and 2 pm - everyone welcome. There will be a display of photographs and other memorabilia. Also available at the launch will be a CD containing a variety of information on over 3,000 soldiers that served with the 2nd Battalion, The Monmouthshire Regiment. Come along and have a look. If you are unable to attend the launch, but would like to purchase the book, please drop me a line at .



Many Thanks
