The 'Pals' battalions were a phenomenon of the Great War. Local communities raised (and initially often paid for) entire battalions for service on the Western Front. Their experience was all too frequently tragic, and they encountered the fury of battle on the Somme in July 1916. Yet their spirit and fighting qualities have gone down into history. This is a comprehensive history of the Tyneside Irish Brigade raised in the North East. It covers their raising, training and active service as well as the aftermath of the war and how it affected their community.

I have been carrying out research in connection with a soldier from WW1 who lived in Haughton-le-Skerne and is buried in the churchyard. A friend told me to read this book as the Major served with the Tyneside Irish for short time in France. The author has put together a poignant piece of social history and the information is a invaluable.

I got this book as my Granfather was killed in WW1 who was in the Tyneside Irish as were numerous Miners in Colliery Villages in County Durham who were not in fact Irish. It is well written and researched.

Well written but not sure about the accuracy, there appears to be big gaps
not least in the names of the men who served. So beware if
you are looking up family members.
