Lt Col Robin Ashwood tells the story of a memorial to one of Wales' most famous regiments. It follows a service at Brecon Cathedral marking a hundred years since the opening of the South Wales Borderers and Monmouthshire Regimental War Memorial.
The centenary of the South Wales Borderers and Monmouthshire Regiments’ war memorial has been marked in a moving service in Brecon Cathedral. A service was held in the Cathedral’s Havard Chapel - home to many regimental colours and other reminders of the regiments’ illustrious past.
During the service, two brass candlesticks and a brass cross were gifted to the chapel, in honour of the 100 years that have passed since the memorial was launched on May 25th, 1922.
Afterwards, Colonel Rodney Ashwood talked to Brecon Story about the history of the chapel and the regiments it commemorates.
Mae canmlwyddiant cofeb ryfel Cyffinwyr De Cymru a Chatrawd Mynwy wedi cael ei
