Description
The 7th King's Liverpool Regiment in the First World War is a study of community identity and its impact on a fighting unit during the Great War. Based on the author's PhD thesis, this book examines the relationship between local communities and the battalion, exploring how this connection influenced combat effectiveness. Through an extensive compilation of primary sources, including local newspapers, official War Diaries, and private papers, the author sheds new light on various aspects of the First World War, such as the Lusitania riots and the battles of Festubert and Givenchy. The book also draws attention to gaps in the social and military historiography of the War. The conclusion highlights the significant contribution of local identity to the 1/7th King's Liverpool Regiment's morale, organisation, and ultimately, its battle effectiveness.
