About this book
Fred W. Ward, a captain in the Royal Engineers who had served in the battalion as No. 662, recorded the wartime history of the 23rd (Service) Battalion Royal Fusiliers, known as the First Sportsman's. The 1920 volume covers the years 1914 to 1919, from the battalion's formation and training at Hornchurch to service overseas and the march into Germany.
Other chapters cover the Battle of Delville Wood, the diary of a prisoner of war known as "Mr. Brooks, the Schoolmaster", and the presentation of the King's Colour. The honours list, roll of honour and nominal roll of original members close the book.
