Yorkshire, The History of the Sixth Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment 1914-1919

Description

This CD is a must-have for those interested in the regiment during the First World War. It is a detailed and interesting account of the experiences of the 1/6th and 2/6th Battalions, such as the fighting around Ypres and capture of Passchendaele. It contains photographs of officers and their surroundings, as well as a number of maps. You can also see lists of the Officers who went abroad, casualties, those who received honours and awards, and much more.

One officer writes about his experience in Ypres: "It rained for four days, and filled up the trenches - canals I mean - and then it stopped and froze. Trench feet and frost bite claimed five out of our section of nine."
