| Summary | "The 42nd (East Lancashire) Division 1914-1918" by Frederick P. Gibbon is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the experiences and achievements of the East Lancashire Division during World War I, particularly focusing on its formation, mobilization, and engagements in notable campaigns such as Gallipoli. The narrative likely draws from firsthand accounts, war diaries, and collective nostalgia to illustrate the valor and camaraderie of soldiers from the region. At the start of the text, the author sets the scene for the impending war as the world stands on the cusp of conflict in August 1914. The narrative discusses Britain’s initial unpreparedness for war and the mobilization of the East Lancashire Division, highlighting the pride and determination of its members as they volunteer for service abroad. A sense of urgency builds as the troops transition from civilian life to military readiness, culminating in their deployment to Egypt for training before heading to Gallipoli. The opening portion effectively captures the spirit of the time, blending historical context with the personal experiences of the soldiers as they grapple with the realities of war.
