"The Seventh Manchesters: July 1916 to March 1919" by S. J. Wilson is a factual story that tells of the 7th Battalion, Manchester Regiment, and what they did in World War I, especially their time fighting in places like Gallipoli and the Western Front. The book looks closely at what the soldiers did, the problems they faced, and their lives day to day, as seen by someone who was in charge.

It talks about the important leaders, what the soldiers had to do early on, and shows how different things were in the deserts of Egypt compared to the trenches in France, focusing on how they were friends, the tough times they faced and how they trained soldiers.
