Electrical question.

I have some LED's that ran off three AAA batteries in an old torch.

I've pulled them out of the torch, de-soldered them from the round circuit-board (Pictured below) and am now running individual wires to separate them for another application.

Do I run a positive and negative from the battery to EACH LED, or do I run a positive to the first one, then join them all up in a row, like one circuit in one end of the LED, out the other end, into the next etc?

I forget all the terms.... was it parallel or series?

Which option in the picture is it?
