The Lion and the Rose tells the story of an infantry battalion in
the Great War. Based on many unpublished sources, the book narrates
the individual parts played by nearly 2,000 of those who served
with the 4th King's Own (Royal Lancaster) Regiment from the day
that war was declared in 1914 until the armistice in 1918 and in a
few cases, the stories of men whose war continued long afterwards.
The battalion first saw action in Festubert in May 1915 and went on
to fight on the Somme, the Ypres Salient and Gillemont Farm, though
the battalion's epic stand at Givenchy on 9 April 1918 must rate as
one of the greatest defensive actions of the war. Using
contemporary combat reports, many of the major actions are
described down to individual platoon level. The Lion and the Rose
does not just concentrate on the major battles, but also examines
everyday life in the trenches. Appendices give the most complete
battalion roll to date and list those awarded medals for their
bravery and also those nominated unsuccessfully for recognition.
