Frank Leslie Newland was the son of Alfred Newland of 97 Oakfield Road, Newport, Monmouthshire. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the 1/2nd Battalion, Monmouthshire Regiment (T.F.) in November 1914. Newland served with the Battalion on the Western Front from 7 November 1914, and advanced to Captain.
Norman Chester Newland was the son of Alfred Newland of 97 Oakfield Road, Newport, Monmouthshire, and was the brother of the above. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the 1/1st Battalion, Monmouthshire Regiment (T.F.) in November 1914. Newland served during the Great War with the Battalion in the French theatre of war from 1 April 1915. He was wounded and captured in the bitter fighting which followed the first German Gas attack at Ypres, when his Battalion was virtually annihilated losing 7 officers killed (including the Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel C. L. Robinson) on the 8th May alone. Newland was almost certainly wounded and captured on the latter date, with British Battalions on The Western Front, January to June 1915 giving him as such. The following extract from a Short History of the Monmouths gives the following:
‘If the 2nd Bn. escaped the intense fighting of 8th may when the 1st and 3rd Bns. were reduced to mere fragments in defence of the Frezenberg position, it had a prolonged and strenuous trail and it is only in comparison with the other two Bns. that it may seem to have fared well. On 8th May one of the worst days in the whole struggle, the 1st Bn. were the first to bear the brunt of the tremendous bombardment followed by an attack in great force. Both Bns. were virtually annihilated by the end of May. Their survivors between them hardly amounted to a company, but they had put up a splendid fight. Its stand has been picked out by the official history of the war as a historic episode in the war. (Note 1, 2 and 3 Bns. amalgamated on 22nd May. Their total strength being 900 Officers and men, two thirds of which were from 2nd Bn.’
Newland was not recorded on the Battalion’s strength at Brielen, 9 May 1915, and he was listed as ‘Missing in Action’, 11 May 1915. Second Lieutenant Newland died of wounds in German hands, 31 May 1915, and is buried in Roeselare Communal Cemetery, Belgium.
