It is estimated that the First World War claimed the lives of
40,000 Welshmen, all of them heroes whose sacrifice is honoured by
a grateful nation. 'Call them to remembrance', which includes 120
illustrations and maps, tells the stories of 13 Welsh heroes who
shared the common bond of having worn the famous red jersey of the
Welsh international rugby team. Gwyn Prescott's sensitive and
fascinating book, the product of over ten year's research and
study, recovers the memory of these thirteen multi-talented and
courageous Welshmen who gave their lives in the Great War of
1914-18, detailing their playing and military careers. Amongst
their stories are the leading amateur golfer in Wales who
represented Newport at five sports; the Cambridge choral scholar
who gave up his job in India to volunteer for the Army; the flying
Cardiff winger who impressed Lloyd George; and the "lion-hearted"
hero of the famous Welsh victory over New Zealand in 1905.
