The final part of the Lion and the Rose trilogy detailing the TF
battalions of the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment in the Great
War. Established in August 1914, the 2/5th spent the next thirty
months in England perfecting their ability to `form fours'; engaged
in almost every sort of training other than that which they would
need at the Front. When they deployed to France in February 1917,
they were pitted against an aggressive and experienced foe. This
book tells the story of their struggle to learn the skills
necessary to survive in the pitiless arena of modern warfare and
their progress to become the fighting equals of any by the end of
the war. With no history written for either 57 Division or the
2/5th, this book-based on dozens of contemporary and unpublished
sources, tells their story for the first time. The book contains
sketch maps of the sectors the battalion fought in and accurate
coordinates for all positions; previously unpublished photographs
of men from the battalion; the most complete battalion roll yet
compiled and narrates the individual parts played by 1,000 of the
officers and men during the war.
