This retelling is based on a true story and was independently verified.
Amidst the fiery crucible of Mons, unfolding between August 23 and August 24, 1914, the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders bore the brunt of the tempest, losing officers, non-commissioned soldiers, and comrades to battle's voracious maw—consigned to the lists of the slain, the wounded, and the vanished. Among the survivors, Private J. Parkinson stands resolute, a witness and chronicler of those grim days, his words a lingering echo of the courage that defied all odds within the crucible of combat.
Join us now as he describes in his own words the valour, triumph and heartbreak of those fateful days.
