This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this history the two battalions are dealt with separately but the list of Honours and Awards combines both battalions. When war broke out the 1st Battalion was in Bombay and sailed for home on 3 Sep 1914, arriving on 2 October and joining the newly formed regular division, the 8th. They landed in France on 5 November 1914 taking part in the battles of Neuve Chapelle, Aubers Ridge and Loos. Both the regiment's VCs were won by the 1st Battalion, at Neuve Chapelle and during the Aubers Ridge battle. Subsequently the narrative describes the battalion's part on the Somme, at Third Ypres, at Villers Bretonneux and the Chemin des Dames in 1918, and the Second Battle of Arras. The 2nd Battalion in August 1914 was stationed in Sheffield, part of the 18th Brigade of the 6th Division which was widely dispersed with two brigades in Ireland and one in Northern Command. They landed in France in September 1914 and after taking part in the Battle of the Aisne moved north to the Ypres salient where the division stayed for the next thirteen months sustaining some 11,000 casualties before moving down to the Somme. The battalion fought at Lens in June/July 1917 suffering losses of 183 or a quarter of its trench strength, and it was also at Cambrai. Wylly’s is a factual, unembellished account avoiding dramatics. Casualty figures are given from time to time following actions with individual officers named, as are officers with incoming drafts. After the war a memorial tower was erected at the summit of Crich Cliff, near Ripley, to be seen for miles around. The account of its opening, on 6th August of some unspecified year is reproduced from the Derbyshire Advertiser: It commemorates 11,409 of the Regiment who died in the Great War and the 140,000 who served in its thirty-two battalions.

Book excerpt: "the indescribable bravery of individuals, and the dogged determination which inspired all ranks." On the outbreak of war the 1st Battalion were in India. The 2nd were in Sheffield. Both were sent to the Western Front as soon as able. Both battalions would remain there for the entirety of the war. They endured merciless conditions when in the front line. 1st and 2nd Battalions the Sherwood Foresters in the Great War examines each battle they fought from the Aisne in 1914 to victory in 1918. Written by Colonel H. C. Wylly, who was a Colonel in the regiment, it is a fascinating blend of official history and personal understanding. Among some of the battles of the Sherwood Foresters were the infamous battlefields of Neuve Chapelle, Loos, Ypres and the Somme. At its heart, this regimental history captures the "stiff upper lip" attitude and the resilience these two battalions showed in the face of death. Those with an interest in the military, or in the history of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, will find this a must-read.
