Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Border Battalion: The History of the 7/8th (Service) Battalion King´s Own Scottish Borderers In the following pages an attempt has been made to write a history of the 7/8th Battalion, King´s Own Scottish Borderers, during the entire period of its career. As a Service Battalion, it had a short life; and having fulfilled its purpose, it was disbanded and removed from the establishment of the Army. The chief object, therefore, of this volume is to provide a permanent record of the engagements and movements of the battalion during its active service; and to recall, to those who took part with it in the Campaign, scenes and incidents, grave and gay, in their proper setting and sequence. Many who, while not belonging to the battalion, were, for one reason or another, interested in its vicissitudes, will welcome a volume that contains a narrative of events with which they are, to some extent, already familiar from the letters and conversations of their friends. The history, which owes its inception to Lieut.-Col. H. P. Hart, D.S.O., has been compiled and, to a large extent, written by Captain J. Goss, M.C. Major J. H. Patrick, M.C., who, with the assistance of Sergeant E. H. Whitehead, collected from official sources much of the detailed information contained in the history, has also written several of the chapters. Other chapters have been contributed by Captains W. W. Henderson, M.C., A. B. Paton, M.C., P. Reay, M.C., J. Weir, M.C., and Lieutenants J. E. Thomson and J. D. Brown. The whole work has been revised, in many parts rewritten, and prepared for the Press, by Rev. J. Ferguson, B.D., who was the last Chaplain with the battalion.
