The second line West Riding Division was formed at the beginning of 1915, its infantry component consisted of a brigade of W Yorks, a brigade of Duke of Wellingtons, and a mixed brigade of KOYLI and York and Lancasters; all were second line TF battalions.. The first GOC was Maj-Gen Sir James Trotter, a gunner, who had retired in July 1911 at the age of 62 from command of the Southern Coast Defences. In December 1915 he was replaced by Walter Braithwaite, late Som LI, who had been Hamilton s Chief of Staff on Gallipoli and had come home with him when he was replaced in October 1915. The division was lucky in that Braithwaite, an exceptionally competent commander, was to remain with it almost to the armistice, handing over in August 1918 on promotion to command of IX Corps. On 5th January 1917, the division embarked for France. The division got off to a shaky start in its first major operation, the unsuccessful attack on Bullecourt in April 1917, and in the second attack in May it suffered heavy casualties, nearly 3,500. As the war progressed so did the division s competence and reputation. It fought well at Cambrai and today its memorial stands on that battlefield at Havrincourt; its unveiling in June 1922 is fully described in the history. The division went on to distinguish itself at the defence of Bucquoy in the German March offensive and in the subsequent advance to Victory it confirmed its place among the best divisions in the BEF, a remarkable achievement. It was the only TF division included in the Army of Occupation. Total casualties amounted to 24,446 and three VCs were won. In March 1919 it was redesignated Highland Division. This is a very good and detailed account by a well-known military historian who has several regimental and divisional histories to his name, and Cyril Falls, who served in the division, has only one criticism in his bibliography War Books - that the extraordinary change in the division between its arrival on the battlefield and the armistice hasn t been fully brought out. The accompanying maps are of a high standard, a feature of all Wyrall s histories.There is a misprint on the map facing p23 Vol II (Battle of the Drocourt-Queant Line) in the legend describing the trench lines and objectives; the date of the relief of the 62nd Division should read 3-9-18, not 2-3-18. There is a very useful appendix in which all the officer casualties (I make the total 1,028) are listed chronologically indicating unit and nature of casualty, other rank casualties are totalled on a monthly basis.

This book is concerned with the two West Riding divisions during the Great War - the 49th (1st West Riding) and the second-line 62nd (2nd West Riding), formed after the outbreak of war. The 49th has no separate divisional history of its own but the 62nd has a two volume history, recently reprinted by N&M Press. The record is set out in three parts or books. Book I deals with pre-war history, describing the formation of the West Riding (Territorial) Association in 1908 and what it did in the years before the war (and there is an appendix listing all the Association members and permanent officials from 1908 to1920). This is followed by an account of the all the West Riding units, their formation, training and peacetime stations with a list of their COs at the outbreak of war; and finally there is an account of the process of mobilization when war came. Book II is entitled War and takes the story from the arrival in France of the 49th Division in April 1915 through the arrival of the 62nd Division in January 1917 to the end of that year. The Cambrai offensive had ended in December and in the opening attack on 20th November the 62nd had, in the words of Haig in his foreword, carried out an operation of outstanding brilliance. By the end of 1917 casualties amounted to 44,049 all ranks of whom 406 officers and 5,242 other ranks were dead. Book III is War s End and covers the last year of the war through to the armistice. Subsequently the 62nd marched into Germany with the British Army of Occupation, the only Territorial division selected to be part of that Force. In 1919 it was renamed the Highland Division. One of the appendices provides a complete roll, extending to nearly one hundred pages, of all the Honours and Awards obtained by both divisions (listed separately). The statistics are interesting: the 49th total of awards came to 2,640 while the 62nd s total was 2,655 despite arriving in France twenty months after the 49th. Both divisions won five VCs A further list shows all West Riding Territorial troops who won their awards while not serving with either division. Finally there is a table showing the return of casualties by units up to the end of 1918, amounting to 2,927 officers and 65,886 other ranks. To this is added a footnote saying the figures are provisional, and though so deplorably heavy, cannot be regarded as complete. This book is highly recommended.
