Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sherwood Foresters in the Great War, 1914-1919, 1/8th Battalion TO me, perhaps naturally, the most interesting part of the book is the early chapters. From the time, in 1911, when I took over the command of what, I was informed by a Staff Officer qualified to know, was the best Territorial Brigade in the Kingdom, I was a firm believer in the Territorial Force. But I hardly think that the most hardened Optimist would at that time have thought it possible for a Territorial Division to mobilise and march complete with equipment and Transport to its Mobilisation area on the sixth day after receiving the order Mobilise. The amount Of work done by Battalions and Companies was marvellous and only those who experienced it can have an idea of what it meant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sherwood Foresters in the Great War, 1914-1918: The 2/8th Battalion IN writing this History of the gallant deeds of my comrades, I have endeavoured to temper tragedy with comedy, and to weave among the sorrows of War all those little intimate happenings, the memory of which are the salt of Regimental Life. By so doing I hope to make this Book more readable, not only to those who have served with the Battalion, but to the General Public by whose verdict it must stand or fall. My main objects, however, in writing this preface are to give myself the Opportunity of thanking those Officers who have written Chapters in this book, or have given me invaluable help in many matters with which they were more conversant than I. Without their assist ance this Book could not have been written. Also to express my deep appreciation of the loyal devotion - I can call it by no other name - which all Ranks gave ungrudgingly to the Battalion and myself. Lastly I Wish to offer my grateful homage to the memory of those brave souls who served with me and have fought their last fight.

Download or read book 1st and 2nd Battalions the Sherwood Foresters Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment in the Great War written by H.C. Colonel Wylly and published by . This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 234 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

This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When the 8th Sherwood Foresters concentrated at Hunmanby, at the end of July, 1914, for their usual annual training, the International horizon was clouded with the diplomatic conversations which had followed the murder of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria by Servians at Sarajevo. Many hoped, no doubt, that the experience of the Morocco incident of 1905 and the Agadir incident of 1911, would again be repeated and that once more the clouds of a world war would be dissipated, but when we reflect upon this period of the world's history it is easy now to see that war with Germany, sooner or later, was inevitable."
