The first British strike against Germany of World War One?
On 3rd August 1914 Newport police captured the German freighter 'Belgia' anchored in the Bristol Channel ten miles from Newport, taking prisoner 20 crew and 75 naval reservists. This incident is considered by many to be the first strike of the war by the British against Germany.
