A Brass-Hat Blunder, by Llywellyn Wyn Griffith | 7 July 1916 | Episode 122
Published on 7 July 1916
Subaltern officer in a famous Welsh regiment, Mr. Wyn Griffith at the outbreak of the battle of the Somme was attached to Brigade headquarters. His moving story of the early incidents of a great struggle is accentuated by the heroic conduct of his Brigadier, an elderly, brave, and humane officer to whom fell the thankless duty of disagreeing with superior orders.
The author of this episode became, during the war, a captain in the 15th (London Welch) Battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and during the action at Mametz was attached to the staff of the 115th Brigade.
He was later Editor of the journal of the Honourable Society of Cymmrodorion.
