This work serves as a detailed chronicle of the experiences and operations of the 1/5th Battalion of the Leicestershire Regiment during World War I, from their mobilization through to the end of the conflict. It captures the regiment's spirit, trials, and significant moments on the battlefield, particularly focusing on the bond formed among the soldiers and their leadership.  At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the Territorial Force and the formation of the 5th Leicestershire Regiment, highlighting its diverse experience levels among its members. The opening segment describes the early days following the war's outbreak, detailing their training in England and subsequent mobilization, quickly building an engaging sense of camaraderie. Hills offers glimpses into the organization of the battalion, interaction with local communities, and preparations for deployment, providing a vivid backdrop to the personal stories and events that will unfold throughout their harrowing journey in the war.
