About This Book

This work provides a chronological regimental history of a Territorial formation raised in East Lancashire, tracing its mobilization, training, and combat service through amphibious operations on the Gallipoli peninsula, defence of the Suez Canal and campaigning in Sinai, and later service on the Western Front. It recounts unit actions during major engagements, the response to the German spring offensive, and the subsequent advances through fortified positions to the armistice. The volume also includes casualty rolls, honours and awards, staff lists, maps, and contemporary testimonies that document operational detail and the division's esprit de corps.
