Remembering the 1st and 6th Welch who were part of the attack on the Hohenzollern Redoubt, Loos on 1st and 2nd October 1915 and suffered very heavy casualties.

Still remembered after 94 years.

Gwyr y cledd, mawr eu clod
Yn angof ni chant fod

Men of the sword, great their fame
They shall not be forgotten

Er cof.

In grateful remembrance of the 1st and 6th Welch who fought bravely at the Hohenzollern, Loos 92 years ago. Not forgotten. Rest in peace.

In grateful remembrance of Captain James Lionel East Warren, age 20, commanding 'A' Coy.1st Bn Welsh Regiment and of all those brave lads who laid down their lives at the Hohenzollern on 1/2nd October, 1915.

Of James Warren it was said: ' He behaved with great gallantry, and personally led many attacks, in which we tried to bomb our way up the trench. He was an able and very energetic officer as well as a very brave one. I very much fear that he, with the others, died in the most glorious way possible.' One of his sergeants, who was the last man to see him alive, wrote: 'Captain Warren ordered me to retire after I was hit, and said he would stand by those who were too severely wounded to be moved; he had been hit himself
in the head, and had been bandaged by a captured German doctor, but the wound did not seem to bother him, I sincerely hope that
we may yet hear of him, for a more gallant gentleman and courteous officer I have never followed.'

He was officially reported wounded and missing on the 1/2nd October, 1915.

"A boy, he spent his boy's dear life for England. Be content: No honour of age has been more excellent"

We should never forget...
