The history of the Twentieth (Light) Division

An account traces the formation and training of a light division raised in England and follows its service on the Western Front, detailing operations in sectors such as Laventie, the Ypres salient, the Somme, Cambrai, Lens and Avion, and the final advance. Compiled from official records and participants' notes, the narrative presents brigade- and battalion-level actions alongside artillery, engineer, medical and logistical contributions, supplemented by maps and illustrations, and records engagements, honours, and the division's operational development across campaigns.
