The Territorial Divisions, 1914-1918

"The Territorial Divisions, 1914-1918" by John Stirling tells the story of the British Territorial Infantry Divisions in World War I. The book honors these divisions, which were created by an act in 1907, and played a very important part in the war. Stirling uses real reports of battles and other events to present the experiences of the Territorial Infantry Divisions during wartime. Stirling shows the reader how these divisions participated in major battles like those at Cambrai, Ypres, and Gallipoli between 1916-1918. The author describes both the start of the war and the ways that these divisions came to be respected and developed strong bonds during their service.
