The History of the Suffolk Regiment 1914 - 1927. by Lieut Col C C R Murphy (1928)
On 1 January 1914, when this volume begins, the Suffolk Regiment consisted of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, the 3rd (Special Reserve) Battalion, and the 4th, 5th and 6th (Cyclist) Battalions of the Territorial Force. After the outbreak of war sixteen more battalions were raised and added, and in 1917 the Suffolk Yeomanry converted into the 15th Battalion, making a grand total of twenty-three. Battalions of the Regiment served in France and Flanders, Gallipoli, Macedonia, Egypt and Palestine, and at home. This book tells their stories, based on war diaries, private diaries, letters and interviews. In all 6,650 died, two VCs were won and 73 Battle Honours awarded. The doings of the ten battalions which proceeded overseas are all woven together into the general story contained in these pages, those of the remaining thirteen battalions form the subject matter of separate chapters. Given the scope of this volume and space considerations there is no Roll of Honour and the list of Honours and Awards is a very limited one showing only some of the more important honours gained. Inevitably some battalions get fuller treatment than others but, as Cyril Falls comments, the main events are clearly described. More maps would have been welcome. |
