Condition: New. 2001 reprint by N & M Press (original 1921). SB. xvi + 331pp with four illus and 11 mapsPublished Price £22 This is the history of a pre-war TF division, the 1st London Division. It had the unhappy experience of being broken up right at the beginning of the war to provide reinforcements elsewhere. By the beginni…ng of 1915 the division had ceased to exist, but in January 1916 it was reconstituted in France and numbered â56thâ. Its first major engagement was the unsuccessful diversionary attack at Gommecourt on 1 July 1916 which resulted in 4,749 casualties. The division remained on the Somme till October and in the following year fought in the 1917 Arras offensive and again at Cambrai. In the German March 1918 offensive the 56th formed the right flank of First Army NE of Arras where, alongside 4th Division, it faced seven German divisions in the âMarsâ offensive; the German advance here was checked. By the end of the war the division had suffered 34,809 casualties. This account is by an author with a reputation as a writer of regimental and divisional histories, and his experience as a regimental and staff officer in the war show clearly. There is an excellent appendix providing details on order of battle - commanders, staff and units - and the changes, with dates.

Condition: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1922). SB. xii + 266pp with 20 b/w illus and four mapsPublished Price £22 The 74th Division came into being in Egypt in March 1917, composed of three dismounted brigades of yeomanry (2nd, 3rd and 4th), which had fought at Gallipoli in that role, had returned to Egypt to form…part of the Suez Canal Defence force and had been reorganized as infantry brigades numbered 229th, 230th and 231st. The GOC, Maj Gen E.S Girdwood, took as the divisional insignia a broken spur which, the author states, might have been a reflection of the bitterness he felt over the fate that condemned the fine yeomanry regiments to an infantry role. The division fought at the Second and Third Battles of Gaza, playing a leading role in the latter, and took part in the capture of Beersheba and Jerusalem. In May 1918 the division was transferred to the Western Front where it fought for the rest of the war, at Bapaume, the Hindenburg Line battles, Epehy and the final advance in Artois and Flanders. Total casualties numbered 8,654 of which just over 5,000 were incurred in France. Three VCs were awarded but in the appendix giving the citations, one of them is shown as Sgt T.Caldwell, who was not in the division when he performed his act of gallantry in October 1918, his battalion (12th RSF) had been transferred to the 31st Division four months previously. On the other hand, the VC won by LSgt W Waring (25th RWF) at Ronssoy during the battle of Epehy doesnât get a mention. Other appendices quote operation orders for the attack on Beersheba and Jerusalem; give casualty figures for Palestine and France and list battalion COs.Dudley Ward is one of the most prolific writer of military histories connected with the Great War. Other divisional histories include the 53rd and 56th Divisions and regimental histories include the Welsh Guards and the RWF. He earned a high reputation and he has done a fine job with this history, backed up with good, clear maps.

Condition: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1927). SB. 288pp with nine maps and b/w illus (not detailed in list of contents)Published Price £22 The 53rd was a pre-war Territorial Force division which served in Gallipoli, Egypt and Palestine but never on the Western Front. The book opens with the detailed order of battl…e of the division as it was on the outbreak of war, a state of affairs that didnât last long; between November 1914 and February 1915 six battalions were posted independently to various formations in the BEF in Flanders. After being warned for India in November, an order which was quickly cancelled, the division was eventually reorganized in April 1915 with one of the brigades (159th) being composed of Home Counties battalions replacing those that had been sent overseas. In July 1915 the division sailed for Lemnos and thence to the Dardanelles where it landed, at Suvla, in August 1915. By the time it was withdrawn to Egypt in December the effective fighting strength had been reduced to 162 officers and 2,428 other ranks.Back in Egypt the division joined the Suez Canal Defence force and, in August 1916, took part in the battle of Romani in the Sinai desert in August and then in the advance on Palestine as part of Eastern Force under General Dobell. The first two attacks on Gaza (March/April 1917) were failures though the division itself had done well in the first battle, its success frustrated by inferior staff work, indecisive leadership, lack of communication and bungled water supply. Eastern Force commander was given the heave-ho and replaced by Chetwode, and the GOC in C Egyptian Expeditionary Force, Murray, was replaced by Allenby. The last three months of 1917 saw divisional successes at Third Gaza, Beersheba and Jerusalem. One VC was awarded, in Palestine, to a battalion MO. In June-August 1918 the division was again reorganized, this time to the Indian Army establishment. Five of its battalions were sent to the Western Front to join the reconstituted 34th Division and their places were taken by Indian/Gurkha battalions, leaving one British battalion per brigade; the old and new orders of battle are compared in the text. The narrative ends with the victory at Meggido in which the part played by each brigade is described. Appendices include several examples of corps and divisional operation orders; the succession of COs of the British battalions and a brief record of doings of each of the five battalions sent to 34th Division. There is no list of honours and awards, no roll of honour and, alas, no index.

Condition: New. 2005 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1929). SB. xv + 422pp with 22 b/w illus and 29 mapsPublished Price £22 This volume is concerned with operations on Gallipoli, in Mesopotamia, Palestine, Macedonia (Salonika) and Italy, although the author prefers THE WAR WITH TURKEY, THE WAR WITH BULGARIA and THE WAR WITH AUS…TRIA as titles to the three parts into which the book is divided. The first part (Turkey) begins with a brief background on the Turkish army, its strength and dispositions and then, after an account of the landings on 25th April 1915, goes on to describe the regimentâs part in the Gallipoli campaign.Four battalions were involved at Gallipoli: 5th, 6th. 7th (Territorial battalions) and the 8th (Service) Battalion. The 8th Battalion was in 13th (Western) division, the only RWF battalion in that division, and landed at Anzac on 4th August 1915, followed shortly after by the three Territorial battalions with 158th Brigade in the 53rd(Welsh) Division. For the next four months they were in the fighting, notably at Suvla, Sari Bair and Scimitar Hill until both divisions were evacuated to Egypt in December. The 13th Division went on to Mesopotamia in April 1916, where the 8th Battalion was the only RWF battalion to fight in that theatre, and it was there to the end. The 53rd Division, after returning from Gallipoli remained in Egypt through 1916 and in February 1917 advanced into Palestine, and in August 1918 the 5th and 6th Battalions amalgamated to form the 5th/6th. In February 1917 the 74th (Yeomanry) Division was formed in Palestine and two Welsh Yeomanry regiments were posted to it and redesignated 24th and 25th Battalions RWF. Both battalions fought in Palestine and in France. The 11th (Service) Battalion went to France in September 1915 with 22nd Division; a month later the division was transferred to Salonika and with it went the 11th RWF, which was the only battalion of the regiment to fight in the Macedonian campaign. Finally, the 1st Battalion, which had served on the Western Front with the 7th Division from October 1914, went with the division to Italy in November 1917 where it remained to the armistice. The activities of all these battalions are well described in this history which concludes with a chapter on the Armistice and Demobilisation. There are a number of appendices which include: the Roll of Honour for the whole Regiment, taken from âSoldiers Diedâ and âOfficers Died;â a short piece on the campaign in the Cameroons (Dobell, the British commander, was an RWF officer; brief notes on the Regimental Goats and the âFlashâ; the COs of all the battalions, with dates; an account of the unveiling and dedication of the War Memorial at Wrexham, the depot of the regiment; and a table showing details of the battalionâs war establishment in 1914. Again, there is a comprehensive index. All in all these four volumes make up a very fine regimental history.

Condition: New. 2005 N&M Press reprint (original pub1928). SB. xv + 514pp with 21 b/w illus and 50 mapsPublished Price £22 The last two volumes of this history cover the Great War, during which the original seven battalions (two Regular, one Special Reserve and four Territorial) expanded to forty of which twenty-two served over…seas. Total casualties (dead) amounted to 9,800; 77 Battle Honours were awarded and eight VCs were won, one by an officer serving on the staff at the time (Lieut-Col Doughty-Wylie at Gallipoli). A further VC was awarded to the MO of the 1/6th Battalion in Palestine.Vol III is concerned only with the Western Front where fifteen battalions served and four of these also served in other theatres.This volume is arranged in seven parts, each part covering a specific period. The narrative is continuous beginning with a brief background on the immediate pre-war situation, the reorganisation of the War Office and the Army, leading on to mobilization, the creation of new battalions, a list of all the battalions that existed during the war, with postings and, very useful, the nominal roll of all the officers serving on 1st August 1914, extracted from the Army List - Regular, Reserve and Territorial. The next part takes the story to the end of First Ypres, involving the 1st and 2nd Battalions, followed by 1915, 1916-1917 (May), 1917, 1918 and the German offensive, and finally 1918 the Pursuit of the Enemy. In each part any battle in which a battalion of the Regiment took part is fully described with officer casualties named and other rank casualties given by total. The author makes good use of personal accounts, diaries and memoirs and so provides an extremely interesting record. There is a comprehensive index.

Condition: New. 2001. SB edn by N & M (first pub 1920)Published Price £22 The creation of a Welsh Regiment of Foot Guards was authorised by Royal Warrant on 26th February 1915, though the order to raise the regiment had been given by the King to Earl Kitchener, Secretary of State for War, on 6th February. In the first instance…officers and men came from the other Guards regiments and from the recruits at Caterham. The new regiment mounted guard at Buckingham Palace on St Davidâs Day, three days after the publication of the Royal Warrant. All this is described in the opening chapter which lists the first officers to join and the regiments from which they transferred. On 17th August 1915 the 1st Battalion sailed for France where it was allocated to 3rd Guards Brigade in the newly formed Guards Division. The author is one of the most prolific writers of Great War histories - 53rd, 56th and 74th Divisions as well as the monumental (nearly 950 pages) history of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, and with this history of the Welsh Guards he has maintained his high standards. The story takes us through all the battles in which the battalion fought, describing in detail many individual actions, ending with its return to the UK from the Army of Occupation in March 1919. Appendices provide the nominal roll of all WOs NCOs and Men who served overseas with the 1st Battalion, indicating casualties (over 800 dead) and awards and the records of service of officers; examples of operation orders; a record of every move of the battalion from arrival in France on 18 August 1915 to arrival in Cologne on 20 December 1918; list of enemy divisions engaged; the story of the regimental choir, a most important element of the regiment - in short, this is an outstanding history.
