Description
The 'Pals' battalions were a unique phenomenon of World War I. Under Lord Derby's scheme, local communities came together to raise and fund entire battalions for service on the Western Front. This book explores the story behind these remarkable units, which were formed in response to Kitchener's call for a million volunteers. The 'Pals' battalions played a significant role in the war effort, but their history has largely been overlooked until now. Hardcover, 320 pages.
