The Fifth Leicestershire A Record Of The 1/5th Battalion The Leicestershire Regiment, T.F., During The War, 1914-1919.

The Fifth Leicestershire: A Record of the 1/5th Battalion the Leicestershire Regiment, T.F., During the War, 1914-1919 by John David Hills is a vivid regimental diary that traces a local Territorial Force unit through the trials of World War I. Written by Captain J.D. Hills, M.C., Croix de Guerre, and grounded in the official Regimental War Diary, this history and collection of war stories records mobilisation, actions abroad, the home front, and the ultimate return of the Colours to Loughborough. Rich with firsthand detail, maps, and an introduction by Lt. Colonel C.H. Jones, the narrative emphasizes the themes of brotherhood, duty, leadership, and organisation that sustained the 1/5th Battalion across five tumultuous years. Anecdotes of officers and men, administrative challenges, and communal resilience bring to life the everyday realities behind military movements without revealing battlefield outcomes. Ideal for listeners who love military history, regimental studies, or personal accounts of World War I, this audiobook offers both researchers and general readers an authoritative, human portrait of a county battalion and the wartime spirit that bound its members together.
