Harrogate Terriers

The 1/5th (Territorial) Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment in the Great War

Beschreibung

General Haig accused the Yorkshire Territorials of being ~too sleep" to fight well on the Somme, but the 1/5th Battalion proved him wrong. Mainly drawn from Harrogate, York, Ripon and the surrounding area, more than 700 lost their lives as they went on to fight successfully at Passchendaele and other key battles of the Great War.
