Monument in France

Recently Feelystone Boyle erected a Memorial over 11 British Soldiers in the Village of Iron, Guise (North East France). Five of the Soldiers were members of the Connaught Rangers, from various parts of Ireland. The Soldiers were trapped behind the lines in the retreat from Mons to the Marne in the summer of 1914. They were sheltered by the villagers of Iron for many months but eventually betrayed, captured and executed with their host, who sheltered them. Part of the Village was burnt in reprisal. Barry Feely met the Memorial organiser, Hedley Malloch, at a Remembrance Day in King House Boyle (Former Barracks of Connaught Rangers) last autumn, where he gave a talk on the incident and his intentions to erect a Memorial. The picture shows the memorial of Wicklow Granite in situ with Barry & Shane Feely, who carried out the erection. Seamus Connolly from Clare sculpted the bronze plaque. Seamus also sculpted the Dermot Earley bronze Figure, which Feelystone Boyle erected in Gorthaganny. The unveiling ceremony was attended by twenty members of the Connaught Rangers Association, which included a number of members from Boyle. The Association also made a contribution to the Memorial fund.
