This work chronicles the experiences and contributions of the 1/4 Royal Berkshire Regiment, detailing their mobilization, training, and active service in various battle fronts. The narrative is rooted in the author's personal recollections as well as records kept by the battalion, providing an intimate glimpse into the life of soldiers during the war. The opening of the historical account lays the groundwork for understanding the regiment's preparations and early mobilization amidst the breakout of war. It describes the swift transition from routine training to active service and the regiment's quick involvement in the conflict following the declaration of war. Cruttwell captures the initial camaraderie among soldiers, the sentiments of patriotism, the logistical challenges of mobilization, and their journey to the front lines, all while illustrating the profound impact these experiences had on the troops. The account serves as both a chronicle of military service and a reflection on the human aspects of war, setting the stage for further explorations of their experiences in action.
