Poppy Trail to commemorate Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (m) role in World War 1
The first phase of the Poppy Trail a commemoration to the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (M) was installed over the weekend. Its highlight is the tableau of Steel Soldiers in the Regimental Garden of Remembrance. The story of the RMRE, since its inception as a militia in 1539, with a special focus on the first World War, is told in a series of panels on the approach to and surrounds of Monmouth Castle and the Regimental Headquarters at Great Castle House. If you ever visit Monmouth, it's worth walking up Castle Hill to the Remembrance Garden, a quiet tranquil spot to see the installation first-hand While there maybe pop into the Regimental Museum which is a hidden gem.
