1st Bn Royal Welsh Fusiliers Memorial, Zandvoorde: A Tribute to Valor and Sacrifice in the Great War This evocative photograph captures the solemn and moving scene of the Memorial to the 1st Battalion of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, located in the picturesque town of Zandvoorde, Belgium. Dedicated to the memory of the gallant soldiers who fought and fell during the First World War, the memorial stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men of this distinguished battalion. The 1st Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, also known as the "Old Welsh," played a significant role in the major battles of the Ypres Salient, particularly during the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915. The town of Zandvoorde holds particular historical significance as it was the site of a fierce battle in October 1914, during which the 1st Battalion displayed exceptional courage and tenacity in the face of overwhelming enemy forces. The Memorial, unveiled in 2016, is a testament to the enduring bond between the people of Zandvoorde and the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. The design features a bronze figure of a soldier, wearing the distinctive Fusilier cap badge, standing atop a granite pedestal. The memorial is surrounded by a tranquil garden, where visitors can reflect on the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the 1st Battalion during the Great War. This photograph, taken in 2016, beautifully encapsulates the spirit of remembrance and pays homage to the brave men of the 1st Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, whose valour and sacrifice will never be forgotten. The memorial stands as a symbol of the enduring friendship between the people of Zandvoorde and the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, a bond forged in the crucible of war.
