Circumstances prevented the recording of the History of the 2nd Battalion until long after the 1914-18 War and it was not until 1937 that the task was undertaken by Major F. R. Gifford. The story was completed up to the outbreak of the Second World War by Lieutenant-Colonel M. R. Roberts, but publication had, perforce, to await the return of peace. The history of a regiment is the tale of its doings both in peace and war; a narrative of day-to-day events, great occasions, stirring actions, desperate battles, heroism, sacrifice. Upon these foundations, when they can be read and known and remembered, is built up the structure men call the Regimental Tradition. History has clearly shown that it is those regiments whose discipline and battle-worthiness are based on great and continuing traditions which have best been able to stand the strain and adjust themselves to the ever changing pattern of warfare.
