Condition: New. 2002 reprint by N & M Press (original pub1922). SB. xx + 207pp, 73 b/w photos/ drawings, 13 b/w portrait photos and ten mapsPublished Price £22 This is the story of the 2nd London Division, which was numbered 47 in May 1915 when the TF divisions were allocated numbers. The history of the 56th (1st London) Division has already been reprinted by N & M Press. The 47th left for France in March 1915, the second TF division to arrive there. 1915 was a busy year for the division. In May it was in the Battles of Aubers Ridge and Festubert and in September/October it was at Loos and the Hohenzollern Redoubt suffering some 4,200 casualties in all. The first months of 1916 were spent in reserve and in the Vimy sector, fighting amid the craters, fighting which cost the division 2,100 killed, wounded and missing. In August the division moved south to the Somme. It captured High Wood on 15 September, during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, an action in which it experienced the fiercest fighting in the whole of its service on the Western Front. The divisional history records that in four days it suffered 4,500 casualties, more than in the four battles of 1915 combined. Despite the success the GOC, Major-General C. Barter, was dismissed and sent home two weeks later, charged with âwanton waste of men.â He was subsequently exonerated and knighted, though his demands for an official enquiry were refused. One cannot help feeling that the one who should have gone was the corps commander, Pulteney. The recently restored divisional memorial is on the edge of the wood, beside the Martinpuich-Longueval road, and on the other side of the road is the London Cemetery, named after the division.In October the division left the Somme and went north to the Ypres salientwhere it remained for almost a year, most of the time in the area of the Bluff and Hill 60. The major battle in which it took part during this period was at Messines, in June, where it was one of the attacking divisions following the explosion of the mines along Messines Ridge. In September the division left the Salient and moved down to the Gavrelle-Oppy front, relieving the 63rd (RN) Division. They were now in Horneâs First Army. After a stay of only two months the division moved again, down to Byngâs Third Army where it was in action in the defence of Bourlon Wood during the Cambrai battle, recording the third highest casualty list of all the divisions involved - 3,357.When the Germans launched their offensive in March 1918 the 47th Division was in the line in the Flesquieres salient, in V Corps, on the extreme right of Third Army. Over the next six days the division conducted a fighting withdrawal till, on 26 March it crossed the Ancre where the enemy advance was brought to a halt. Ironically, the divisionâs line of retreat had taken it through High Wood which it had captured at great cost eighteen months earlier. In the final advance to victory the division, now in Fourth Army, retraced its steps through the Somme battlefield till, in October it came under command Fifth Army in the operations in Artois. Almost its final act was to make the official entry into Lille on 28 October, led by the Army Commander, General Birdwood, while the bands played and the crowds cheered.This is a good history, with more photos and illustrations than any other and very good maps. There are a number of appendices providing information on a variety of subjects: Order of Battle and changes; comprehensive lists of Commanders and Staffs as well as COs of infantry, artillery, engineer, medical units and divisional train and all their changes; list of honours and awards including two VCs; brief historical notes on the units that served in the division; the divisional entertainment troupe âThe Folliesâ and more besides.
