This is the story of the raising of Kitchener’s Army, from the earliest days of recruitment, through to the creation of whole "Pals" battalions across the country, and beyond. This book follows the journey of these men, born to fight together, through an amalgam of words and images. Their path to the Somme, and the tragedy of the July 1, 1916 and beyond, had a huge effect on the communities these friends came from; the artifacts they left behind bear witness to that never-forgotten imprint on history that were the Pals Battalions. This book should be treasured by every community throughout Britain as a tribute to this generation.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Lord Kitchener recognized the need for recruitment on an unprecedented scale in 1914 and his call for 'the First Hundred Thousand' was quickly met by enthusiastic volunteers. Local regiments were then created, encouraging brothers, friends and workmates to join up in companionable 'pals' battalions, but eventually the government was forced to introduce conscription. This study of these early volunteer soldiers, dubbed by the original regulars of 1914 as Kitchener's Mob, includes illustrations of recruitment literature, archive photographs and military memorabilia.
