The book aims to honor the contributions and sacrifices of its members while providing a glimpse into the events that shaped the character and traditions of the unit. The opening of this work provides a foundational history of the Battalion's formation in response to World War I, detailing how Glasgow's Chamber of Commerce played a pivotal role in creating the Battalion amid the urgent call to arms. The narrative illustrates the vibrant enthusiasm of recruits at the outset of the war, recounting early days of training and enlistment as various companies were formed from local institutions and businesses.
