Summary "The War History of the 4th Battalion, the London Regiment (Royal Fusiliers), 1914-1919" by Captain F. Clive Grimwade is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive work documents the experiences and battles of the 4th Battalion during World War I, detailing their mobilization, training, and significant engagements in various theaters of war. The focus is set on the Battalion's journey from preparation at the outbreak of war through to their numerous campaigns against the backdrop of major events like the battles at Neuve Chapelle and Ypres. The opening of the book provides a detailed background of the 4th Battalion, highlighting its long history dating back to the English Civil War and its evolution into a vital unit in the conflict. It begins with the Battalion's mobilization efforts, detailing the urgency and enthusiasm of its members as they prepare to defend the nation. Subsequent paragraphs recount the intricate logistical planning needed to safeguard key railway lines during the build-up to war, establishing a clear picture of the initial conditions faced by these soldiers.
