ABOUT THIS BOOK

The Rifle Brigade (RB) was one of five regiments having four regular battalions before the war; it also had two special reserve battalions but, in common with the Guards, the Irish Regiments and the KRRC it had no Territorial battalions. By the end of the war the total number of battalions had risen to twenty-eight but this history is concerned only with the twelve battalions that went to war – the 1st to the 4th, 7th to 13th and the 16th. They all fought on the Western Front though one of them, the 4th Battalion, left France for Salonika in November 1915 with 27th Division and remained in that theatre for the rest of the war. Fifty-two battle honours (listed at the end of Vol II) and ten VCs were awarded, eleven thousand five hundred and seventy five all ranks died.

Vol I (Reginald Berkeley) covers the period from the outbreak of war to the end of 1916, Vol II (William W. Seymour) takes the story on to demobilisation in 1919. At the end of this volume is a very comprehensive index for both volumes, divided into personalities, battalions and actions.
