Summary: "The Sherwood Foresters in the Great War 1914 - 1919" by W. C. C. Weetman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth examination of the 1/8th Battalion Sherwood Foresters, detailing their experiences and activities during World War I. It focuses on the battalion's transformation from a local reserve force into an effective fighting unit on the Western Front, highlighting the trials, tribulations, and bravery of the soldiers involved. The opening of the text sets the stage for the battalion's mobilization in response to the impending war, beginning with their annual training in 1914. As tensions rise following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the battalion swiftly prepares for action, receiving orders to mobilize just before Britain enters the conflict. Weetman captures the sense of urgency and uncertainty that soldiers faced as they began to gather supplies, organize transport, and prepare for the imminent deployment. The narrative hints at the camaraderie and resolve among the troops as they embark on a journey that would lead them into the harsh realities of significant battles and trench warfare.
