This blog is in memory of Lt George Owen Birch,
Welch Regiment, who was reported missing in action
14th September 1914 during the first Battle of the Aisne in World War 1.
The Memorial
Memorial in St Mary's Church Bucknall, Stoke on Trent
The memorial is accurate in all aspects of insignia and uniforms to the Welch Regiment. The facial relief I must presume to be a good likeness of Lt Birch.
The inscription is incorrect in one detail as he was serving with the 2nd Battalion Welch Regiment not the 3rd Battalion.
