VILLERS PLOUICH Communal Cemetery (Nord France)

T. G. Marshall
Cpt Tom Rees 17/09/1916 aged 21
He was the son of Thomas and Alice Rees of Cefn Brynich farm in Defynnog near Brecon. He was a very bright university student who joined the 14th Royal Welsh Fusiliers as soon as his degree was completed. He was the observer in an FE2b whilst flying with Lionel Frank Bertram Morris of 11 Squadron when he was shot down over Villers Plouich. Morris was able to land the aeroplane at Flesquieres before dying. Rees had apparently died in the air. Both were killed by Manfred von Richthofen, the famous Red Baron who was flying that day for the very first time in his Albatros DII with the rest of his squadron, Jasta 2 led by Oswald Boelcke. The Germans buried Rees with full military honours.
For Iwan Hughes (North Wales).
