Many men and boys from Leeds enlisted as volunteer soldiers at the
outset of the First World War as part of the national phenomenon of
'Pals' that sprang up across the Britain. The Leeds Pals, who made
up the 15th Battalion (Prince of Wales's Own) West Yorkshire
Regiment (the City Battalion), trained in rugged Colsterdale and at
Ripon, guarded the Suez Canal and were changed irrevocably by their
experiences during the Battle of the Somme in 1916 when, on the
first day, the battalion was devastated. Who were these men? How
did their experiences resonate in Leeds? What impact did they have
on the city itself? Using unpublished archive sources and original
research, this book adds to our knowledge of the Leeds Pals through
case studies and historical overview, revealing how the city
treated this one battalion at the expense of others.
