Wreath laid by the Royal Welsh Fusiliers

Byddant yn tyfu nl ?yn hen,
Fel yr ydym ni yn cael ein gadael yn tyfu'n hen:
Ni chaiff oed eu gwau,
Na chondemnio y blynyddoedd.
Wrth fynd i lawr yr haul ac yn y bore
Byddwe yn eu cofio.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Forth stanza from the poem by Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)  'For the Fallen', referred to as the Ode of Remembrance, first published in The Times on the 21st. September 1915.

"Pan ewch adre?,
Dywedwch wrt?? nt amdanom a dywebwch,
Am eu yfor? rhoddaist ein heddiw"
In Remembrance

When you go home, 
Tell them of us and say, 
For your tomorrow, 
We gave our today. 

The verse is attributed to John Maxwell Edmonds (1875–1958), and is thought to have been inspired by the epitaph written by Simonides to honour the Greek who fell at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC.

In 1914 The Denbighshire Yeomanry was headquartered at No. 1 Erdigg Road, Wrexham with A Squadron also based in Wrexham and with drill stations at Llangollen, Mold and Rusbon.

The 1/1st. Denbighshire Hussars were mobilised on 4th. August 1914 at the outbreak of the First World War. They moved to East Anglia where they joined the 1st. Mounted Division (Household Cavalry) in September 1914.
