@TheGentsGuild@harboreric While most of the men of the 1st Battalion, 24th Regiment of Foot (1/24) were recruited from the industrial towns and agricultural workers of England, principally from Birmingham and adjacent southwest counties, only 10 soldiers of the 1/24 that fought in the battle were Welsh.

All the signs are that the murder of poor Ann was political with the news ALL eight Reform MPs and their shadow Home Affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf to receive 24-hour police protection.
That would not have happened if the killer had been either a burglar or mentally ill.
A 28-year-old man ( police anxious to say he’s white!! ) has been arrested in South Yorkshire.
I would be interested to know if he was friends with the 26-year-old local man who was held and then released with police having no further interest.
