About this book
The War Service of the 1/4 Royal Berkshire Regiment (T. F.) by C. R. M. F. is a vivid, firsthand account that brings the battalion’s World War I journey to life with clarity and authority.
Drawing on the author’s own recollections, the battalion war diary, and contributions from officers and men, this history and war stories collection follows the 1/4 Royal Berkshire from mobilisation in August 1914 through the mud and trenches of the Western Front to the mountain warfare of the Italian campaign. Chapters trace training, early engagements, holding actions at Plugstreet, the battles of Pozières and Third Ypres, the grind toward the Hindenburg Line, and the final campaigns that led to victory. Themes of duty, endurance, leadership, and the everyday realities of soldiering are interwoven with careful tactical and chronological detail, offering both human perspective and historical context.
Ideal for listeners who love military history, regimental studies, or personal wartime memoirs, this audiobook appeals to history buffs, descendants researching family service, and anyone seeking a disciplined, evocative account of a Territorial Force battalion’s experience in the Great War.
