Tigers on the Western Front
The 5th Leicestershire Regiment rallied to the colours almost to a
man as so many Territorial units did at the outbreak of the First
World War. It served on the Western Front as part of the 46th
(North Midland) Division which consisted of the Leicestershire,
Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Staffordshire
brigades. The Leicestershire's were in the 138th Brigade commanded
initially by General A. Taylor and subsequently by General R.
Clifford. In the pages of this book Actions are described on the
Salient, on Vimy Ridge, at Gommecort, Monchy, Lens, Hill 65, St.
Elie, Pontruet, Fresnoy, Riquerval Woods and many other engagements
where the men with the tiger cap badge distinguished themselves.
This history of the regiment was written by a serving officer who
has produced a thorough and engaging account of the regiment's time
during the Great War which will be of interest both to students of
the British infantry at war and those who wish to trace their
ancestors to those momentous days in world history. The book
includes honour and roster rolls of especial interest to
genealogists. Available in softcover and hardcover with dustjacket
for collectors.
