Paperback or Softback. Condición: New. HISTORICAL RECORDS OF THE 18th (SERVICE) BATTALION NORTHUMBERLAND FUSILIERS (1st TYNESIDE PIONEERS). Book.

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. 1926. Presumed first edition. xv, 183pp., frontispiece and 29 other black and white plates, and 5 folding maps at the end of the book. The 17th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers was raised by the North Eastern Railway at Hull in September 1914 and became a Pioneer battalion in January 1915. In June 1915 the battalion moved to Catterick where it joined 32nd Division as the divisional pioneer battalion. The division embarked for France in November 1915 and the next six months were spent in the Somme sector around Albert, Bouzincourt and Meaulte. The battalion took part in the opening battle of the Somme at Thiepval and its actions are described in detail. In October 1916 it left the division and joined GHQ Railway Construction Troops until the end of August 1917. It then rejoined the division at Nieuport on the North Sea coast for a couple of months before again joining the Railway Troops. In May 1918 the battalion was transferred to the 52nd (Lowland) Division and remained with it as Pioneer Battalion to the end of the war. The narrative of this history comes in great part from personal diaries and letters lent by many members of the battalion and as far as possible the actual words of the originals have been used. The book is bound in the original dark green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling to the boards and the spine is faded with bumping to the spine ends. There are two small holes in the cloth on the front board and some damp marking near the top and fore edges of the rear board. The contents are tight and clean with browning and foxing to the half-title page and last page of the book. The rear fixed endpaper has a small (repaired) hole near the fore edge and there is a corresponding piece missing from the fore edge of the rear free endpaper (possibly the result of insect damage). PLEASE NOTE: This is a fairly heavy book and extra postage may apply for delivery outside the UK.

Condición: New. 2009 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1920). SB 211pp+Illustrations & MapsPublished Price £18 This is an exceptionally detailed and intimate Battalion History of the 18th (Service) Battalion of the Notrhumberland Fusiliers - a unit rapidly raised in the Newcastle area on the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. The battlion spent the remainder of the year and 1915 in training in their home area, but like many other units of Kitchenerâs New Armies, found themselves at the beginning of 1916 in France preparing for the Somme offensive. The Battalion was used both in a Pioneer role - supplying and maintaining the trench lines - and in a purely combatant role, and was in almost continuous action for the remainder of the war. The Battalion fought at La Boiselle on the Somme and at Arras in April 1917. For the rest of the war it was in the infamous Ypres salient, where it was in the thick of the fighting in March and April 1918 during the German spring offensives. The author of this book, Lt.-Col. John Shakespear, was instrumental in raising the Battalion and commanded it throughout its service on the western front. The volume includes the Battalionâs Embarkation Roll from January 1916; its Roll of Honour; honours and awards and appendices - including one on a Prisoner of Warâs experiences. Illustrated with photographs and maps.
