Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War History of the 4th Battalion the London Regiment: Royal Fusiliers, 1914-1919 It was considered by the past and present members of the 4th Battalion, The London Regiment (Royal Fusiliers), that some permanent record of the part taken by the Regiment in the European War should be compiled, and a War History Committee was formed in February 1920 to consider the preparation of such a record. At the unanimous request of the Committee Captain F. Clive Grimwade undertook to write the Regiment's War History. The Committee desire to express their keen appreciation of the manner in which he has overcome the difficulties of compiling such a History and of his devotion in carrying out this long and arduous work. The Committee wish to express their thanks also to Lieut.-Col. Marchment, to Captains Boutall, Garratt, Croll and Hetley, and to other officers who have given Captain Grimwade valuable assistance; to the author's mother, Mrs Grimwade, for her assistance in arranging information as to officers' personal services and in correcting the drafts of the book; and to the Regiment's Honorary Colonel, Lord Marshall, for facilitating the publication of the book.

Book excerpt: The War Diaries for the Great War, held under WO95, represent one of the most popular record collections held at the National Archives, Kew, London. For researchers and family historians, the War Diaries contain a wealth of information of far greater interest than the army could ever have predicted. They provide unrivalled insight into daily events on the front line and are packed with fascinating detail. They contain no modern editing, opinions or poorly judged comments, just the war day by day, written by the men who fought this 'War to end all Wars. They are without question, the most important source of information available on the war on the Western Front. Full colour facsimile of each page with specially created chronological index. What is a War Diary? The headquarters of each unit and formation of the British Army in the field was ordered to maintain a record of its location, movements and activities. For the most part, these details were recorded on a standard army form headed 'War diary or intelligence summary'. What details are given? Details given vary greatly, depending on the nature of the unit, what it was doing and, to some extent, the style of the man writing it. The entries vary from very simple and repetitive statements like 'Training' up to many pages of description when a unit was in battle. Production of the diary was the responsibility of the Adjutant of the headquarters concerned. Is there any other information or documents with the diaries? Some diaries have other documentation attached, such as maps, operational orders and after-action reports.

Book excerpt: The 6th battalion, London Regiment, was raised in 1859 by the celebrated artist, George Cruikshank, with the title 24th Battalion, Surrey Regiment, a unit of the Volunteer Corps formed in that same year. Four year later the title was changed to the 48th Battalion, the Middlesex Regiment. After another couple of changes the battalion became, in 1908 when the Territorial Army was created, the 6th (City of London) Battalion The London Regiment (City of London Rifles) - to give it its full title. At the outbreak of the Great War, the battalion was in the 2nd London Brigade, 1st London Division, and at the end of August a duplicate or second line battalion was formed, and the two battalions were named 1/6th and 2/6th. In November 1914 the 1/6th was transferred to 4th London Brigade, 2nd London Division, later 140th Brigade, 47th Division with which it remained till January 1918. It landed in France in March 1915 and fought its first major action at Loos that September. Subsequently it was on the Somme, and at Messines, Third Ypres and Cambrai. At the end of January 1918 the battalion was disbanded, and some 260 officers and men joined the 2/6th, then in 174th Brigade, 58th Division, which now became 6th Battalion. 2/6th arrived in France in January 1917 with 58th Division, and its first major action was at Bullecourt. Later it took part in the Third Ypres battles, before absorbing a draft from the disbanded 1/6th and becoming 6th Battalion, which remained in 58th Division to the end of the war. This history begins with the names of divisional and brigade commanders under whom the battalion served, followed by the Honours list where all recipients are named, except for Mention in Despatches where totals are given. The early history of the battalion is briefly narrated before the Great War, which takes up the bulk of the book. In addition to details of actions fought, in each chapter attention is given to some particular aspect of military training or operations, such as communications between front and rear, transport difficulties, individual exploits and so on, while to facilitate reading, at the head of each page appears the number of the battalion being discussed. The book ends with the Roll of Honour (1050 dead) and an index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of the heroic fighting ability of one of the first Territorial Force battalions ordered to France and the first to see action in World War I. For two centuries the officers and men of the London Scottish have faithfully served their country, never more so than during the terrible years of the Great War. Initially with the 1st Guards Brigade, and later with the 56th (London) Division, the 1st Battalion was so committed to the prosecution of its cause that by November 1918 its numbers included only three survivors of the original Battle of Messines. The Second Battalion saw action in campaigns as diverse as France and Flanders, Ireland, the Balkans, and Palestine where it won two Victoria Crosses. The London Scottish in the Great War does not set out to recite the oft-told famous battles fought and won. Rather it employs a wealth of previously unpublished war journals, diaries, and photographs to provide a unique insight into this most auspicious Regiment. It demonstrates as no history of the London Scottish has before the hopes, sufferings, and aspirations of the volunteers who filled its ranks, so many of who made the supreme sacrifice.
