These men in the table below are understood to have enlisted in the Special Reserve between July 1908 and April 1910.<\/p>\n

Featured man \u2013 3\/10523 Private Henry Charles Holland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Henry Charles Holland joined the Special Reserve in December 1909. He would have been mobilised on 8th August at Brecon. His medal index card tells us he arrived in France on 31 August 1914. The war would soon be over for him.
\nAlthough his service record has not survived, there are two other sources of information for him. His name is on the Princess Mary Gift Fund list, of men who were POWs as at Christmas 1914. In addition, he is recorded in the records of the Red Cross, which are freely available online at https:\/\/grandeguerre.icrc.org\/en\/<\/a>. He appears in documents PA 7501, PA2887 & PA2979. It informs us that he was captured on 26 September 1914. It gives his parents address in Abergavenny.<\/p>\n

He is documented on the following page
