Missing in FranceThis is taken from The Brecon & Radnor Express, Thursday 3rd December 1914. 'SOUTH WALES BORDERERS. LOSSES AT TSING-TAU AND IN FRANCE. The following supplementary list of casualties among non-commissioned officers and men of the South Wales Borderers was issued at the Brecon Depot on Saturday [28th November] : ' What is interesting is the particular reference to France. Those men, for whom better documentation exists, were captured near Chivy on 26th September in France. There were other groups of POWs, taken at Poelkapelle/Langemarck and at Gheluvelt on 21 and 31 October respectively, but these locations are in Belgium.Contributed by:
