Respect....
We always pay a visit to the same WW1 Cemetary at Etreux where elements of Irish Guards and units had a last stand in the Retreat from Mons.
After the war, the area of the final stand, an orchard on the edge of town, was purchased for the British Cemetary. Its a beautiful peaceful place.
10 of the soldiers escaped the final battle and hid out for several weeks with the help of some local villagers but we're betrayed and captured. They were tortured and beaten over several days before being brutally beaten to death.
