When William Dudley enlists as a private in the Royal Hampshire Fusiliers, he discovers that life in the army of Queen Victoria is not the romantic adventure he had expected. Transported to the Crimean Peninsula, his dreams of glory are confronted by the harsh reality of war and death. Promoted to sergeant on the battlefield barely more than a year after his enlistment, Dudley must learn to command and inspire the soldiers he is called on to lead, and do so in the face of death and destruction beyond anything he had ever imagined.

The 74th Division came into being in Egypt in March 1917, composed of three dismounted brigades of yeomanry (2nd, 3rd and 4th), which had fought at Gallipoli in that role, had returned to Egypt to form part of the Suez Canal Defence force and had been reorganized as infantry brigades numbered 229th, 230th and 231st. The GOC, Maj Gen E.S Girdwood, took as the divisional insignia a broken spur which, the author states, might have been a reflection of the bitterness he felt over the fate that condemned the fine yeomanry regiments to an infantry role. The division fought at the Second and Third Battles of Gaza, playing a leading role in the latter, and took part in the capture of Beersheba and Jerusalem. In May 1918 the division was transferred to the Western Front where it fought for the rest of the war, at Bapaume, the Hindenburg Line battles, Epehy and the final advance in Artois and Flanders. Total casualties numbered 8,654 of which just over 5,000 were incurred in France. Three VCs were awarded but in the appendix giving the citations, one of them is shown as Sgt T.Caldwell, who was not in the division when he performed his act of gallantry in October 1918, his battalion (12th RSF) had been transferred to the 31st Division four months previously. On the other hand, the VC won by LSgt W Waring (25th RWF) at Ronssoy during the battle of Epehy doesn't get a mention. Other appendices quote operation orders for the attack on Beersheba and Jerusalem; give casualty figures for Palestine and France and list battalion COs. Dudley Ward is one of the most prolific writer of military histories connected with the Great War. Other divisional histories include the 53rd and 56th Divisions and regimental histories include the Welsh Guards and the RWF. He earned a high reputation and he has done a fine job with this history, backed up with good, clear maps.

This volume is concerned with operations on Gallipoli, in Mesopotamia, Palestine, Macedonia (Salonika) and Italy, although the author prefers THE WAR WITH TURKEY, THE WAR WITH BULGARIA and THE WAR WITH AUSTRIA as titles to the three parts into which the book is divided. The first part (Turkey) begins with a brief background on the Turkish army, its strength and dispositions and then, after an account of the landings on 25th April 1915, goes on to describe the regiment s part in the Gallipoli campaign. Four battalions were involved at Gallipoli: 5th, 6th. 7th (Territorial battalions) and the 8th (Service) Battalion. The 8th Battalion was in 13th (Western) division, the only RWF battalion in that division, and landed at Anzac on 4th August 1915, followed shortly after by the three Territorial battalions with 158th Brigade in the 53rd(Welsh) Division. For the next four months they were in the fighting, notably at Suvla, Sari Bair and Scimitar Hill until both divisions were evacuated to Egypt in December. The 13th Division went on to Mesopotamia in April 1916, where the 8th Battalion was the only RWF battalion to fight in that theatre, and it was there to the end. The 53rd Division, after returning from Gallipoli remained in Egypt through 1916 and in February 1917 advanced into Palestine, and in August 1918 the 5th and 6th Battalions amalgamated to form the 5th/6th. In February 1917 the 74th (Yeomanry) Division was formed in Palestine and two Welsh Yeomanry regiments were posted to it and redesignated 24th and 25th Battalions RWF. Both battalions fought in Palestine and in France. The 11th (Service) Battalion went to France in September 1915 with 22nd Division; a month later the division was transferred to Salonika and with it went the 11th RWF, which was the only battalion of the regiment to fight in the Macedonian campaign. Finally, the 1st Battalion, which had served on the Western Front with the 7th Division from October 1914, went with the division to Italy in November 1917 where it remained to the armistice. The activities of all these battalions are well described in this history which concludes with a chapter on the Armistice and Demobilisation. There are a number of appendices which include: the Roll of Honour for the whole Regiment, taken from Soldiers Died and Officers Died; a short piece on the campaign in the Cameroons (Dobell, the British commander, was an RWF officer; brief notes on the Regimental Goats and the Flash ; the COs of all the battalions, with dates; an account of the unveiling and dedication of the War Memorial at Wrexham, the depot of the regiment; and a table showing details of the battalion s war establishment in 1914. Again, there is a comprehensive index. All in all these four volumes make up a very fine regimental history.

The last two volumes of this history cover the Great War, during which the original seven battalions (two Regular, one Special Reserve and four Territorial) expanded to forty of which twenty-two served overseas. Total casualties (dead) amounted to 9,800; 77 Battle Honours were awarded and eight VCs were won, one by an officer serving on the staff at the time (Lieut-Col Doughty-Wylie at Gallipoli). A further VC was awarded to the MO of the 1/6th Battalion in Palestine. Vol III is concerned only with the Western Front where fifteen battalions served and four of these also served in other theatres.This volume is arranged in seven parts, each part covering a specific period. The narrative is continuous beginning with a brief background on the immediate pre-war situation, the reorganisation of the War Office and the Army, leading on to mobilization, the creation of new battalions, a list of all the battalions that existed during the war, with postings and, very useful, the nominal roll of all the officers serving on 1st August 1914, extracted from the Army List - Regular, Reserve and Territorial. The next part takes the story to the end of First Ypres, involving the 1st and 2nd Battalions, followed by 1915, 1916-1917 (May), 1917, 1918 and the German offensive, and finally 1918 the Pursuit of the Enemy. In each part any battle in which a battalion of the Regiment took part is fully described with officer casualties named and other rank casualties given by total. The author makes good use of personal accounts, diaries and memoirs and so provides an extremely interesting record. There is a comprehensive index.
