Description
The Gordons in World War I provides an in-depth look at the experiences of the Gordon Highlanders during the First World War. Formed 21 battalions strong, they played a significant role on the Western Front and in Italy, earning 65 battle honours. The regular force battalions were immediately assigned to the British Expeditionary Force upon the outbreak of war, while reserve units remained in Aberdeen as depot units. The Territorial Force battalions served in various divisions, including the 51st (Highland) Division's 153 Brigade, which was also known as the Gordons Brigade until May 1915. The Gordon Highlanders' unique deployment during World War I is a fascinating aspect of their history, and this book offers a detailed account of their experiences.
