Condition: New. 1998 reprint by N & M Press (original 1921). SB. viii + 328pp with 7 photos and 15 maps.Published Price £22 The author of this history commanded the 18th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, the divisional pioneer battalion. It is a good read and the details of the actions are supported by excellent maps. This division had the melancholy distinction of suffering the highest casualties of any of the assaulting divisions on the opening day of the Somme, 1 July 1916 - 6,380 of whom 2,480 were killed. Unusually it had only two commanders throughout the war; the first, Ingouville-Williams (âInky Billâ), was killed near Mametz on 22 July 1916. Casualty figures are given for the various periods spent in the line, with annual summaries. Reinforcements, reorganisations, staff and command changes, individual achievements in action are all covered. Finally a table summarises the 2,506 honours and awards and the 364 foreign awards won by the officers and men of the division.

Condition: New. 2003 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1926). SB. xv + 183pp with 29 b/w plates and five mapsPublished Price £18 The 17th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers (17 NF) was raised by the North Eastern Railway at Hull in September 1914 and became a Pioneer battalion in January 1915. In June 1915 the battalion moved to Catterick where it joined 32nd Division as the divisional pioneer battalion. The division embarked for France in November 1915 and the next six months were spent in the Somme sector around Albert, Bouzincourt and Meaulte. The battalion took part in the opening battle of the Somme at Thiepval and its actions are described in detail. In October 1916 it left the division and joined GHQ Railway Construction Troops until the end of August 1917. It then rejoined the division at Nieuport on the North Sea coast for a couple of months before again joining the Railway Troops. In May 1918 the battalion was transferred to the 52nd (Lowland) Division, which had just arrived on the Western Front from Palestine, and remained with it as Pioneer Battalion to the end of the war.The narrative of this history comes in great part from personal diaries and letters lent by many members of the battalion and as far as possible the actual words of the originals have been used. Tthe author has filled in gaps to make a consecutive narrative and added here and there details gleaned from the official War Diaries. He has made a point of including as many as possible of the little incidents that went to make up life at the front, some very pleasant others very hard, as well as doing justice to the greater achievements. Most useful to genealogists, medallists and researchersare the nominal rolls which consist of the embarkation roll of officers, a list of officers joining subsequently with dates, the roll of men who served with the battalion showing number, rank, name, company, whether embarked with the battalion, casualty details and any awards. One appendix gives a short account of the 32nd Battalion which was formed at Ripon in November 1915 from depot companies of the 17th Battalion as a reserve battalion. In September 1916 it became the 80th Training Reserve Battalion.

The book is bound in the original dark green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling to the boards and the spine is faded with bumping to the spine ends. There are two small holes in the cloth on the front board and some damp marking near the top and fore edges of the rear board. The contents are tight and clean with browning and foxing to the half-title page and last page of the book. The rear fixed endpaper has a small (repaired) hole near the fore edge and there is a corresponding piece missing from the fore edge of the rear free endpaper (possibly the result of insect damage).

Condition: New. 2009 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1920). SB 211pp+Illustrations & MapsPublished Price £18 This is an exceptionally detailed and intimate Battalion History of the 18th (Service) Battalion of the Notrhumberland Fusiliers - a unit rapidly raised in the Newcastle area on the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. The battlion spent the remainder of the year and 1915 in training in their home area, but like many other units of Kitchenerâs New Armies, found themselves at the beginning of 1916 in France preparing for the Somme offensive. The Battalion was used both in a Pioneer role - supplying and maintaining the trench lines - and in a purely combatant role, and was in almost continuous action for the remainder of the war. The Battalion fought at La Boiselle on the Somme and at Arras in April 1917. For the rest of the war it was in the infamous Ypres salient, where it was in the thick of the fighting in March and April 1918 during the German spring offensives. The author of this book, Lt.-Col. John Shakespear, was instrumental in raising the Battalion and commanded it throughout its service on the western front. The volume includes the Battalionâs Embarkation Roll from January 1916; its Roll of Honour; honours and awards and appendices - including one on a Prisoner of Warâs experiences. Illustrated with photographs and maps.
