About This Book
An account of the Royal Munster Fusiliers' engagements during early World War I, focusing on their stands and actions at Etreux, Festubert, Rue du Bois and Hulloch. It blends first-hand reports, letters and regimental recollections to recount tactical episodes, losses, and acts of endurance. An historical introduction situates the regiment's origins and previous service, while illustrations and an appendix provide contextual detail and honours. The tone is commemorative and personal, aiming to honor bravery and sacrifice rather than to serve as an exhaustive strategic analysis.
