It is estimated that the First World War claimed the lives of 40,000 Welshmen, all of them heroes whose sacrifice is acknowledged by a grateful nation. 'Call Them to Remembrance', which includes over 120 illustrations and maps, tells the stories of 13 fallen heroes who shared the common bond of having worn the famous red jersey of the Welsh international rugby team. Gwyn Prescott's acclaimed and best-selling book, now in a revised second edition, expertly yet sensitively tells the fascinating individual stories of these 13 multi-talented and courageous Welshmen and their sporting and military careers, including: 'Lou' Phillips, a leading amateur golfer who represented Newport at five sports; 'Wyndham' Thomas, the Cambridge choral scholar who gave up his job in India to volunteer for the Army; 'Johnny' Williams, the flying Cardiff winger who scored 17 tries in 17 games; and 'Charlie' Pritchard, the 'lion-hearted' hero of the famous Welsh victory over New Zealand in 1905.

A native of Cardiff who played alongside Gareth Edwards in the 1965 Welsh Secondary Schools team and later played for Cambridge University, Gwyn Prescott was awarded an MPhil, on the history of rugby, by the University of Glamorgan and is author of several books including 'This rugby spellbound people' - The Birth of Rugby in Cardiff and Wales (St David's Press, 2015).
