About This Book
A former adjutant recounts the formation and county-based battalion, its training in England, embarkation for the continent, and service at the front. He describes trench life, raids, and major actions including Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, Passchendaele, Cambrai, and the final advance to Mons, alongside periods in rest billets. Practical material details battalion organization, reinforcements, casualties, honours, and an honor roll of the dead. The narrative combines operational reports, personal reminiscences, and administrative records to preserve memories for veterans, families, and the wider community.
