The magnificent Welsh Dragon Memorial (to the 38th Welsh Division) overlooks the World War One battleground close to Mametz Wood and the open ground, now called Death Valley.

Mametz Wood was the objective of the 38th (Welsh) Division during the First Battle of the Somme. The attack occurred in a northerly direction over a ridge, focussed on the German positions in the wood between 7 July and 12 July 1916.

  • Interesting to see inside the woods and the dragon looks stunning, but why the great big label across the screen?

  • I know its annoying but I put the label to stop it being downloaded and reused.

  • I understand the symbol of the draggon.

    But this particular memorial to me does not realy do justice to the fallen.

    There is more to Wales than this symbol.
