English: Commemorative plaque at the entrance of the Town Hall for the 5th Royal Irish Lancers, among the last defenders of Mons in August 1914 and among the first to return as liberators on 11 November 1918.

Memorial to the 5th Royal Irish Lancers, Hotel de Ville, Mons. 1922. 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 Bourgmestre (mayor) and the Curé. The scene is supposedly taken from a painting, Richard Caton Woodville, “5th Lancers, Re-entry into Mons”, (http://www.military-art.com/mall/more.php?ProdID=1768 ).
