A propos de cet article

2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub c1931). SB. 165pp and four maps (in colour)Published Price £25 1/4th Hallamshire Bn of the Y & L (Yorks and Corks), the senior Territorial battalion of the Regiment, was based in Doncaster where it was fortuitously assembled, having just completed annual training, when war broke out.The battalion was part of 3rd West Riding Brigade, West Riding Division, later 148th Brigade, 49th Division; it remained in the same brigade and division throughout the war.

They certainly had their fill of the Ypres salient. By the end of the first year in France, in April 1916, the total casualties amounted to 126 killed and 453 wounded. By the end the total dead numbered some 750 all ranks. The narrative provides a good account of the battalion's experiences with frequent mentions of individuals, casualties and awards. Most useful is the fact that each page is headed with the date (month and year). There is a list of awards in the appendix and there is an index. There is one 'howler' which needs to be corrected: in the preface by the brigade commander (R.L.Adlercron) he refers to '50th Canadian Division', there was no such division; he means the 50th Canadian Infantry Battalion. …
