Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 50th (Northumbrian) Division was a pre-war Territorial (TF) division which recruited from Northumberland, Durham and the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire. The infantry battalions came from the Northumberland Fusiliers, East Yorks, Green Howards and Durham Light Infantry. The division crossed to France on 16 April 1915 and by 23 April it had completed its concentration in the area of Steenvoorde, about 14 miles west of Ypres; the next day it was in action at St Julien during the German gas attacks and by the end of 4 May, the day after the battle of St Julien ended, it had suffered 3746 casualties. The division had been given no period of acclimatisation which was given to all other divisions on arrival on the Western Front.The division remained in the Ypres area till August 1916 when it moved down to the Somme, to III Corps, where it took part in the battles of Flers-Courcelette, Morval and the Transloy Ridges with losses of just over 4,000. The Somme offensive ended on 18 November 1916, but the division remained in that area till March 1917 when it moved up to the Arras sector where preparations were underway for a new offensive by Allenby's Third Army, which 50 Division now joined. It took part in First and Second Scarpe and the capture of Wancourt Ridge at a cost of 2750 casualties during the two weeks 11to 24 April. The division did not enter the Third Ypres campaign till late in October 1917, in time to fight the Second Battle of Passchendaele from 26 October to the end of the offensive on 10 November.When the Germans launched their final offensive on 21 March 1918, 50th Division was back on the Somme, this time in Fifth Army and in that first week its casualties numbered nearly 3,500. In April it was with First Army at the Lys where it incurred further losses of 4,265. It was then one of the divisions sent down to the Aisne, in the French sector, with IX Corps, ‘for a rest;' it arrived in time for another major German attack on 27 May, and by 6 June the division had lost almost 7,600 men. It was pulled right back, to the coast in the Dieppe area, and completely reorganizedThis history was the last of the Great War divisional histories to be published, written by the most prolific of all the Great War historians - eight regimental and four divisional histories. Wyrrall died just as he completed his task. In this book he relies considerably on the war diaries and histories of various units, on personal diaries, letters, experiences and anecdotes which together provide a history of the division’s activities seen very much at unit level and in detail. Appendices list all divisional and brigade commanders and the order of battle of units with changes.

Book excerpt: "THE hardy nature of the north countryman was never more in evidence than during the Great War.The fine physique of the Territorial and Service battalions of regiments coming from the counties of Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire was more than once commented upon by famous generals." The 50th (Northumbrian) Division formed part of the Territorial Army and was recruited from Durham, Northumberland and Yorkshire to supply the three infantry bridges -- consisting of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Battalions of the Northumberland Fusiliers; the York and Durham Infantry Brigade of the 4th East Yorkshires, 4th and 5th Yorkshires and the 5th Durham Light Infantry. Wyrall paints a vivid portrait of the journey of the Division -- from the moment of orders to mobilise received by telegram at Headquarters, to sourcing equipment and planning war stations. Coast defences, wireless stations, railway stations and dockyards are all carefully detailed. These are the early days of the Division, a time of nervous apprehension but also optimism, where trench digging, guard duty and fitting harnesses to unruly horses were training exercises -- far from the stark reality that was to await them in France in 1915.In France, the Division were thrown straight into the Second Battle of Ypres...Imparting a rich military experience, Wyrall documents each tactical endeavour of the Division alongside the sobering reports following each battle which detailed the number of dead and wounded. From the Somme, to Ypres and to the German gas attacks he portrays the general situation across enemy lines and the senseless loss of life that each war brings.War diaries, individual unit histories, diaries, letters and classic military anecdotes are all featured in The Fiftieth Division -- a prolific and personal work of military history. Praise for Everard Wyrall: 'It displays the true regimental spirit' - Sir Ivor Maxse'Captain Everard Wyrall is an indefatigable military historian.' - The Spectator 'It is a record of patience and determination, of self-sacrifice and bravery.' - Field Marshal George Francis MilneEverard Wyrall (1878-1933) served in the Boer War, the First World War, and the Third African War. He was an author, journalist, and historian who contributed significantly to the literary commemoration of First World War, compiling extensive official military histories, including, among others, those dedicated to the Somerset Light Infantry, Middlesex Regiment, King's Liverpool Regiment, and West Yorkshire Regiment.

This book was released on 2013-01-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the six pre-war regular divisions only two, 2nd and 5th, published a detailed history of their part in the Great War. The 2nd Division landed in France with the original BEF as part of I Corps (Haig) between 11 and 16 August 1914. It was not directly engaged at Mons and such casualties as were sustained (10 killed 80 wounded) were from artillery fire. During the retreat it was engaged at Landrecies (4th Guards Brigade) and Villers Cotterets but its first major battles were at the Marne and the Aisne, and subsequently it fought in all the battles of First Ypres. During the three months September to the end of November 1914 it suffered some 8,500 casualties. At the end of 1914 the division moved south to the Bethune sector where it remained throughout 1915, still in I Corps. It was at Festubert, Loos and the Hohenzollern Redoubt, which in all cost almost 9,000 casualties. In February 1916 it moved down to the Vimy sector in IV Corps where it stayed till July; the next move was to the Somme. Here the division had a protracted spell, till March 1917, during which time it was in action at Delville Wood, Guillemont and the Ancre incurring nearly 8,000 casualties. The 2nd was one of the few divisions not involved Third Ypres (July-November 1917) but it had earlier taken part in the April/May Arras offensive and later, in November/December, in the Battle of Cambrai. Throughout 1918 the division was in the line for much of the time, in the German offensive and in the Advance to Victory; its final action was the Battle of the Selle, 23-25 October. The final casualty figure was around 45,000. Seventeen VCs were won, and two of the commanders went on to greater things - Monro to Commander in Chief India, and Horne to command of First Army. The division took part in the march to the Rhine occupying the area around Cologne. In March 1919 the division ceased to exist as such when it was redesignated 'The Light Division.' The history is a very good one by probably the most prolific of all the authors of formation and regimental histories of the Great War. The detailed account is easy to follow and the Wyrall has taken care to name many individuals in the actions and events he is describing. Casualty details are given in appendices and in the text, and there is a nominal roll of divisional staff with all the changes throughout the war.
