- If the Brecknockshire's experience of active service had been limited, this could not be said of the three former Volunteer Battalions of the Regiment, taken away from it in 1908, but with which it retains a close connection, officially expressed by the phrase that the Monmouthshire Regiment 'forms part of the Corps of the South Wales Borderers'. ...
- The Welsh Border Brigade, to which the three battalions belonged, had been selected to take part in the Army manoeuvres and was not in camp when war broke out. ...

- All three battalions came in for very severe fighting; the 1st had a company involved in supporting the right of the Canadians by counter-attacks as early as 24th April 1915, though most of the battalion and all the 3rd were holding the 28th Division's front line until the withdrawal to a shorter line nearer Ypres on the night of May 3rd-4th. ...

In the 'New Armies' a Pioneer Battalion had been added to each Division before the end of 1914, and so useful had these battalions proved that it had now been decided to provide all the Regular and Territorial Divisions with one of them. Battalions which, like the Monmouthshires, had established great reputations for their prowess as diggers and contained many highly skilled men among the miners in their ranks were natural selections for conversion into Pioneers, and though the 2nd Monmouths were left as ordinary infantry until the end of 1915, early in 1916 they were withdrawn from the 4th Division and after a spell of duty on the lines of communication, in April they were sent to join the 29th Division as its Pioneers.
