Steve Smith tells the story of the five Battalions of the Norfolk
Regiment who served on the Western Front using previously unseen
photographs, diaries, accounts, and letters. He has also had full
access to the Norfolk Regiment Museum archives. It is the men who
served in the Norfolks who will tell this story. This book will
interest readers nationally & locally as it not only studies
the Regiment's participation in well-known battles such as Ypres
and the Somme, but also takes a fresh look at the lesser-known
battles fought, battles such as Elouges in 1914 and Kaiserschlacht
in 1918. Steve has considered the German perspective too, looking
at the men who faced them at places such as Falfemont Farm in 1916.
Using new evidence from the Regiment's participation in the
Christmas Truce, he separates the truth from myth surrounding the
stories of football played at this time, a controversy that still
rages. Steve has walked the ground over which they fought and fresh
maps complement this research so the book serves as a history book
for those at home and a guidebook for those who wish to get out and
explore, down to trench level, the ground covered in its pages.
