Merchant's Category: Media> Books
This volume is concerned with operations in Turkey, Bulgaria and Austria. The first part begins with a brief background on the Turkish army, its strength and dispositions and then, after an account of the landings on 25th April 1915, goes on to describe the regiment's part in the Gallipoli campaign. For the next four months they were in the fighting, notably at Suvla, Sari Bair and Scimitar Hill until both divisions were evacuated to Egypt in December. The 13th Division went on to Mesopotamia in April 1916, the 53rd Division remained in Egypt through 1916 and in February 1917 advanced into Palestine. The 11th (Service) Battalion went to France in September 1915 with 22nd Division and a month later was transferred to Salonika. Finally, the 1st Battalion, which had served on the Western Front, went with the division to Italy in November 1917 where it remained to the armistice. The activities of all these battalions are well described in this history which concludes with a chapter on the Armistice and Demobilisation. There are a number of appendices which include: the Roll of Honour for the whole Regiment; a short piece on the campaign in the Cameroons (Dobell, the British commander, was an RWF officer; brief notes on the Regimental Goats and the 'Flash'; the COs of all the battalions. There is also a comprehensive index.
