Overview

"The Territorial Divisions, 1914-1918" by J. Stirling is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the experiences and contributions of the British Territorial Infantry Divisions during World War I, particularly detailing their engagements on various fronts. The book aims to provide recognition and tribute to the pivotal role these divisions played in the war, often overshadowed by other military units. The opening of the book outlines the author’s intention to compile excerpts from official despatches that reflect the work of the Territorial Infantry Divisions amidst heavy fighting from 1916 to 1918. Stirling discusses the initial formation of these divisions under the Territorial Act of 1907, their early deployment overseas, and highlights key battles they participated in, expressing how their contributions were critical yet not always fully acknowledged. The narrative emphasizes the development of camaraderie among soldiers and the merit of their efforts, particularly in the context of significant military operations like Cambrai, Ypres, and Gallipoli.
