THE HONOUR OF H COMPANY 4 th WELSH.
In a communication to the Chronicle a member of H Company, 4 th Welsh Regiment stationed at Scoveston Fort levels against the Ammanford people the charge of being “poor patriots.” He states :-
I am sorry to say that the community of Ammanford are poor patriots towards the Territorial Army of that locality. Instead of endeavouring to encourage them, they do their utmost to criticise them.
If the people of Ammanford have time to go talking of what they know absolutely nothing about, it would be more appropriate for them to do a little towards helping us.
It can be done in many ways. Allow me as a member of the above unit to contradict the absurd statements that have been made. I can positively state that the Ammanford Company have the name by their Commanding Officer of being the smartest, and best disciplined company in the 4 th Welsh Regt; so I really think that if we satisfy our officers, our own friends should not try to spoils us.
We all have light hearts, but how can we be expected to retain them when our own people are trying to deprive us of our honour.
It is true several have taken the liberty of returning home, but such trifles do not justify the anonymous statements that have been made. The Ammanford Company will prove that they are capable of keeping the good name they have for the sake of the town which they came.
