"History of the 1/4th Battalion Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regiment, 1914–1919" by Capt. P. G. Bales, M.C., is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the experiences of the 1/4th Battalion during World War I, focusing on their mobilization, training, and combat experiences on the front lines. It offers a comprehensive look at the battalion's contributions, the challenges they faced, and the men who served, making it a significant resource for those interested in military history, particularly in the context of British forces during the Great War. The opening of the narrative describes the initial mobilization and training of the 1/4th Battalion following the outbreak of World War I, detailing their organization under various commanders and the prevailing atmosphere of urgency and excitement as young soldiers prepared for war. Capt. Bales reflects on the early days of military life, including logistical challenges, preparations for active service, and the emotional responses of the troops as the reality of war set in. As the battalion transitioned from training to deployment overseas, we see the build-up to their first experiences in combat, setting the stage for the trials and tribulations that are to come in the subsequent chapters.
