About This Book
The narrative records the battalion's mobilisation and domestic duties, the raising of second-, third- and reserve line units, and movements to Malta, the Gallipoli peninsula, Egypt and the Western Front. It provides a chronological account of trench operations and set-piece actions such as Neuve Chapelle, the battles around Ypres, the Somme and Arras, Bullecourt, Third Ypres, Cambrai and the final advances, interleaving tactical descriptions, unit dispositions, maps and illustrations. Appendices supply campaign notes on Malta, lists of honours and decorations, and details of postwar reconstruction, while chapters trace personnel changes, casualties and the battalion's operational role across the conflict.
