Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fighting Territorials The Battle of Loos has been declared on competent authority to be "by far the greatest battle ever fought in British history." It lacked some of the dramatic features of earlier engagements, such as the second battle of Ypres, and it failed of its full purpose by reason of the late arrival of reserves from the New Army, the 24th and 21st Divisions. But no one, least of all the enemy, questions the conspicuous dash and valour of the 150,000 infantry engaged, and it is our especial pride in the following narrative to record the part taken by the London Territorials. The 47th (London) Division was on the right of the gallant 15th Division, while the 1st Division was on its left, the three divisions forming the 4th Corps to which the main attack was allotted. By all accounts, official and journalistic, the 47th Division even added to the renown which the London Territorials won in earlier phases of the present war. Had adequate support been forthcoming to take over their winnings, there would probably not be a German soldier in Loos or Lille to-day, and the end of the German possession of Northern France and Belgium would have been brought within reasonable distance.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the London Territorial regiments during the first years of the Great War, describing their mobilization and subsequent deployment in France. The author draws on the first-hand accounts of those who fought and lived through those harrowing years to provide a unique and personal perspective on the London Territorials' part in the conflict. From their initial deployment in the defense of the south coast, through the bloody battles at Neuve Chapelle, Aubers Ridge, and Loos, to their unyielding endurance in the trenches, this book captures the courage, tenacity, and sacrifice of the soldiers who defended their country. Together, these accounts provide a moving testament to the spirit of the London Territorials and the crucial role they played in the British war effort during World War I.
