:12:12. > :12:16.that, Carwyn Jones said he always said the figure would come in below

:15:53. > :15:54.for its second Christmas at war. A hundred years ago
:15:55. > :15:56.the conflict was spreading. A new regiment,
:15:57. > :15:59.the Welsh Guards had been formed and soldiers from Wales were among the
:16:00. > :16:20.first victims of chemical warfare. In the wind and rain they gathered
:16:21. > :16:26.in Cardiff this morning to remember and honour one man in particular.
:16:27. > :16:30.The city's first Victoria Cross winner. The plaque now marks his
:16:31. > :16:34.achievement in 1915. Frederick Barter live eight men on an attack

:16:44. > :16:47.Victoria Cross is held by the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum. In the same
:16:48. > :16:55.cabinet, another Welsh Victoria Cross for 1915. He died fighting at
:16:56. > :17:00.Gallipoli. It was the year war really did go global. 1914 was the
:17:01. > :17:06.time they said it would all be over by Christmas. That was when the
:17:07. > :17:12.professional army without a fight. In 1915, they simply prayed the war
:17:13. > :17:16.would end in 1915. It was the time of the Territorial Army, the
:17:17. > :17:20.part-timers. They are the ones who went to the front and died in their
:17:21. > :17:26.thousands. It was also the year a new horror came to the battlefield -
:17:27. > :17:33.mustard gas, a weapon of mass destruction, in today's language. He
:17:34. > :17:37.suffered for the rest of his life. He was the early victim of gas. His
:17:38. > :17:43.granddaughter has researched his life. I feel as if I knew him
:17:44. > :17:49.personally. A minor before the war he was captured, but escaped. His
:17:50. > :17:54.experiences never let them, nor the effects of the gas that permanently

:18:07. > :18:12.mucous membranes to the lungs must have been damaged. He suffered
:18:13. > :18:18.terribly. Along with so many others, by 1915 war was being waged
:18:19. > :18:23.on an industrial scale and on many fronts. Welsh battalions were there
:18:24. > :18:29.on numerous battlefields across Europe. The newly formed Welsh guard
