About This Book

A detailed operational history traces the mobilisation, training, and combat service of the 51st (Highland) Division in the First World War. Combining official war diaries, staff reports, and soldiers' accounts, it follows the division from home billeting and early apprenticeship through major Western Front engagements, period reorganisations, responses to large-scale German offensives, and collaborative operations with allied forces, concluding with the final advances. Chapters are arranged chronologically and supported by maps and portraits; the author notes gaps in sources and limits imposed on detail and selection.
