For Wales
"There is a race in an island place which rose in the morning gleam
And made its sword of an olden song, its armour out of a dream.
Its warriors died with a stubborn pride that reeked no price of tears.
But followed the call of the singing sword that rang athwart the years."
- A. G. Prys-Jones
The recent Welsh programme, 'West to the Sounding Sea,' given in honour of famous Welsh sailors, needs this its counterpart in honour of the soldiers of Wales. This programme is intended as a tribute to the gallantry of the sons and daughters of the Principality, from the days of Caractacus and Gwenllian to the heroes of Mons and Mametz Wood. It may not be generally known that 280,000 troops were recruited in Wales during the Great War, this number being 13.82 of the population. According to a famous General these Welsh troops 'Sang like angels and fought like devils.'
