248547 Pte. Leonard Morgan British Army 2nd Btn. Welsh Regiment from:16 Railway Crescent, Cymmer, nr Port Talbot My grandfather Leonard Morgan of the 2nd Welsh Regiment was taken prisoner at the Battle of Mons. His son was born after this and he was called Mons. I never met him as he had died before I was born (1955). My eldest brother said he had a twitch which he remembered but, judging by the reports of Wittenberg POW camp it's probably just as well that he came out with just that and nothing else. Additional Information: Further information I've found from his POW record with the Red Cross is that he was taken prisoner at Nieuport this would be the "race to the sea" area cut-off where the Belgian Army put up a fierce defence and stopped the German Army from coming around the Port itself. On one of the memorials at Nieuport there are 2 members of the Welsh Regiment displayed. Any help on how my Grandfather could be there would be helpful.
