Sinopsis

Leeds, the proud Yorkshire city, contributed more than its fair share towards Britain&rsquo,s effort in the Great War - and lost many of her sons in the process. This meticulous and lovingly assembled volume combines a history of the various regular, Territorial, and volunteer units raised in and around Leeds, including the West Yorkshire Regiment, the Leeds Pals and the Leeds Bantams, a history of home defence in the city, contributions of Leeds industry and its university, care of the sick and wounded, and volunteer work such as nurses. The most impressive and moving item, though, is perhaps a complete Roll of Honour listing some 9,000 sons of the city who fell in action.
