The London Scottish were the first British territorial battalion to go into action during the Great War (1914), fighting gallantly alongside regular British troops to hold the ridges to the south of Ypres. This first engagement proved that territorials were not just 'Saturday night soldiers' and could be trusted in action. Therefore, for a Regiment with a history as distinguished as the London Scottish, I had expected a bit more from this book.
