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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Second Division, Vol. 1: 1914-1918 There must always be a peculiar interest attaching to the war histories of the Divisions that composed the original Expeditionary Force and, from August 1914 to November 1918, saw the full course and development of the struggle on the Western Front. Those Divisions were not merely the advance guard to the far mightier forces that followed them to France, they were also their example, and set the standards to which the younger Divisions of our Army afterwards lived up so worthily. Of these older Divisions, the Second Division formed, prior to the outbreak of the war, part of my own Aldershot Command, and afterwards fought under me in France in the First Army Corps. I am the more glad to write this Foreword to their Divisional History, for I am thereby given the opportunity to express something of my appreciation of the loyal and gallant service all ranks of the Division gave me in those early days, and of the pride I then - felt and still feel - to have commanded such fine troops. Until January 1915, in fact, the story of the Second Division is practically the history of my own command, and I can speak with the assurance of close personal knowledge regarding the very high standard of military efficiency set and maintained by all ranks, in spite of the greatest difficulties.

Excerpt: ...failed because be expected his leading troops to go on ad infinitum instead of passing fresh troops through in order to capture succeeding objectives. Thus the leading troops became exhausted. ACTION OF 2nd DIVISION ON 21st MARCH. 543 With the exception of the Flesquieres Salient,1 from opposite the whole British line from La Fere to Croisilles, the enemy's troops surged across No Man's Land in vast numbers. There had been no such attack in the whole War. The battle-front was practically divided into two parts--northern and southern. In the former the Seventeenth German Army attacked from a point approximately south of Mceuvres to Croisilles; in the latter, from opposite Gouzeaucourt to La Fere. On the left-flank division (9th) of the VIIth Corps, Fifth Army, and the right-flank division (51st) of the IVth Corps, Third Army, the enemy's attacks fell heavily indeed, for a successful thrust at these two points would have entailed the immediate evacuation of the Flesquieres Salient, held by the Vth Corps, Third Army. The 2nd Division, however, spent the 21st March resting and reorganizing after two strenuous months in the front line. The last week (from the 13th to the 20th), during which the Division had suffered over 3,000 gas casualties, had played havoc with the men, who were, nevertheless, in good fettle despite their losses. The Division had to "stand fast" throughout the day, and assembly positions were detailed should it be necessary for the troops to move forward. The 10th Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry were moved out in front of Metz (to the Metz Salient) during the morning, but in the afternoon were ordered to withdraw to billets in Lechelle. On the night of the 21st March the 2nd Division remained in Vth Corps...
