Book Description
The distinguished contribution of this, the first Pals Battalion, is recorded in text and contemporary images. Particularly poignant are the words of Battalion members from when it was formed in London in August 1914 until the end of the War. Many come from personal diaries and letters written at the time but the author also uses the War Diary of the Battalion and accounts of events written by participants after the War. The Battalion at first recruited young men from the Stock Exchange and City firms. Many could have applied for commissions but were reluctant to spend the time necessary for training. Members of the Stock Exchange from well-known families, like Rothschild and Rubens, served in the ranks alongside clerks from insurance, shipping and banks. The City connection was strengthened when the Lord Mayor, Sir Vansittart Bowater, was made Honorary Colonel in 1914. City Livery companies gave money to provide weapons, and the instruments for the Band. The Battalion served in France from July 1915 until March 1919. They were in action on the Somme, at Ypres and faced the 1918 German Spring Offensive. They participated in the pursuit of the German Army back through France and ended the war at Charleroi. SELLING POINTS: This was the first PALS type battalion Superb images and well researched text Latest in P and S series of Great Battalions 100 b/w photographs

Book Description
Excerpt from The Royal Fusiliers in the Great War But, of course, the responsibility for the book is wholly mine, and I trust it is not altogether an unworthy tribute to the war record of the Royal Fusiliers.
