Summary
| Description |
English: Memorial to the 5th Royal Irish Lancers, Hotel de Ville, Mons. 1922. Height 10ft. 6ins. E.J. May, Architect. The Royal Irish Lancers were in Mons at the time of retreat in 1914 but escaped and returned on Armistice Day. The panel below records the return welcomed by the Maire and the Curé. The scene is taken from a painting, “5th Lancers, Re-entry into Mons”, last heard of in the private collection of a Belgian citizen. This in turn is almost a mirror image of a painting “5th Lancers, Retreat from Mons” (whereabouts unknown). In the former, the troopers are heading in the opposite direction to the “Retreat”, and a middle-aged priest and a pregnant woman watching the departure of the regiment among a worried-looking crowd of Belgian citizens have subtly changed: the priest is now white-haired and the mother holds up her four-year-old child, having lived through the occupation of the German forces in Mons for four years. https://www.scribd.com/doc/17256374/Walter-Gilbert-Main-Inventory
