Synopsis

Frontline to home front: a detailed account of a World War I battalion’s journey through battle, relief, and demobilisation. This book follows the 9th Battalion of The King's (Liverpool Regiment) Territorial Force from its arrival in France to its final reorganization as a Royal Engineers unit. It blends vivid field experiences with daily life behind the lines, showing how soldiers faced raids, long marches, and harsh conditions while maintaining discipline and camaraderie.

This edition presents a clear narrative of a unit that fought, endured, and adapted. Readers will see how planning, training, and small acts of teamwork shaped outcomes on the ground, from salvage work in devastated areas to the weathered routines of trench duty. The story also traces the emotional arc of demobilisation, the ties that held men together, and the moments of pride as the battalion earned its reputation.

• Frontline actions, raids, and the rhythm of trench warfare, including the dangers of enemy artillery and gas.


• Daily life in billets, camps, and transport, plus the logistics of feeding and moving troops.


• Salvage work, reconstruction efforts, and the use of German prisoners in postwar recovery.


• Demobilisation, postwar reunion, and the transition from infantry to a Royal Engineers unit.

Ideal for readers of World War I regimental histories and those interested in how a single battalion navigated battle, duty, and transition in the wake of a global conflict.
