IRON MEMORIAL FUND
Chairperson and Treasurer

Professor Hedley Malloch, Ph.D. lives and works in Lille where he is Professor of Management in the Catholic University of Lille.  His grandfather, uncle and great-uncle were all members of the Royal Munster Fusiliers and all saw service during the First World War.  For him the story of the Iron 12 remains one of the most compelling and remarkable incidents in the history of the Western Front.

David and Janet Arrowsmith. One of the eleven soldiers was Fred Innocent who was the great uncle of Janet. He was a regular soldier at the outbreak of war and was 27 when he was executed by the Germans. We became aware of the story for the first time in 2006 and we were the first members of Fred’s family in nearly 90 years to visit his grave and those of his comrades. We are indebted to Hedley for all his help, knowledge and friendship. We are indebted to the villagers of Iron for keeping this story alive with copies of certificates, articles and reports over the years. Some of the current inhabitants of Iron are direct descendents of the brave villagers who helped the soldiers in 1914.
