Hull Pals 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th (Service) Battalions of the East Yorkshire Regiment A History of the 92nd Infantry Brigade, 31st Division, 1914-19
In response to Kitchener's famous call for a million volunteers, local communities raised entire battalions for the service on the Western Front. Hull folk are reticent people and the Hull Pals were no exception. This book tells their inspiring story of sacrifice and gallantry under appaling conditions. Hull Pals contains a great number of hitherto unpublished eye-witnessed accounts and photographs.
