About this book
Liverpool's printing trades helped form the volunteer corps whose later service Enos Herbert Glynne Roberts records in this regimental history. The opening traces its changes of name, recruiting districts and headquarters before the mobilization of August 1914. The account covers a first night in a theatre, meals served in relays, and civilian carts pressed into military transport. Training in Dunfermline and Tunbridge Wells brings local hospitality, equipment shortages and an urgent desire to reach the front.
The account then places the battalion among the working parties, billets and threatened streets around Ypres. Roberts describes changes in platoon organisation alongside a month of drill and sports at Bollezeele, setting routine service beside immediate danger.
