The Loyal North Lancs is one of the proudest names among British
Army Regiments, and this massive history is a fitting memorial to
their performance in the Great War. The Regiment served in
virtually every theatre - the Western Front; Gallipoli; Egypt;
Palestine; East Africa and Macedonia; - and this book tells the
story of them all. The First Battalion of the regiment were in at
the first - taking part in the defence of Ypres at Langemarck and
Gheluvelt; and were in at the finish - participating in the
breaking of the HIndenburg LIne. IN between, they fought at the
battles of Neuve Chapelle and Aubers RIdge in 1915; the Somme in
1916; and the battles of Arras and Passchendaele in 1917. The 2nd
Battalion was sent to East Africa and took part in the disastrous
attack on Tanga and the subsequent frustrating campaign against
that guerilla leader of genius, General Von Lettow-Vorbeck. Towards
the end of the war, the battalion served in Egypt, Palestine and on
the western front. The regiment's 1st/4th and 2nd/4th (territorial)
battalions fought at Festubert in 1915 and then on the Somme and in
the Ypres salient and Passchendale, and took part in the breaking
of the HIndenburg line. A comprehensive, plainand unvarnished
history of the regiment's huge contribution to the world war, this
book, fully illustrated with maps and photos, and with appendices
covering awards, uniforms, colours and honours, is a book that all
lovers of Lancashire and all interested in the history of the Great
War will treasure.
