Our Welsh Warrior finally runs out of luck when he is captured during the German offensive on the Chemin des Dames in May 1918. For the rest of the war he was a POW. What a story he had to tell and don’t forget to buy our book! Thanks for listening!

We have reached the annus horribilis for our Welsh Warrior Brigadier General Hubert Rees. He was commanding his 151 Brigade on the Somme when all hell broke loose with the German Offensive of March 1918. Terrible times.... https://t.co/ot1QivUICO

Brigadier Hubert Rees returns from his sojourn as a staff officer with 38th Welsh Division to command the 94th Brigade, fated to attack Serre on 1 July 1916 – the first day of the Battle of the Somme. He did his best, but it was a disaster. Please share!
