With the original unit having left with the 8th Division for active service, the men of the 2nd would wait patiently in numerous camps for their turn. This would come in 1916 when, on the morning of 15 January, the Territorials landed at Le Havre. Soon they would see the Somme and later the mud and horrors of Ypres, Cambrai, Givenchy and Festubert before returning to their Devonshire homes. Included in the book is a Roll of Honour as well as a list of those wounded and taken prisoner. Honours and Awards take up a whole page. Illustrations include sketches of trench life, as well as two group photographs of \u2018A\u2019 and \u2018B\u2019 sections. \n\n \n\nShipping\n\nShipping cost:\n\u00A34.25 UK standard for the first book;
