The Scorer Posted 24 September , 2019 Share Posted 24 September , 2019 Does anyone know of a reasonably new concise History of the Durham Light Infantry, please? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaySearching Posted 24 September , 2019 Share Posted 24 September , 2019 Concise I think you would need at least 24 Volumes or more Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scorer Posted 25 September , 2019 Author Share Posted 25 September , 2019 Thanks; I do know what you mean, as the only books I can find (from, I admit, a very brief search) all deal with individual Battalions. I'm looking for something like the several "single volume" histories of the South Wales Borderers / Royal Welsh Fusiliers / Royal Regiment of Wales - does anyone know of anything, please?

Hyacinth1326 Posted 25 September , 2019 Share Posted 25 September , 2019 'Faithful' by Poett is a one volume history. Necessarily broad brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug504 Posted 25 September , 2019 Share Posted 25 September , 2019 An excellent history and analysis of the role of the D.L.I. on the Somme by John Bilcliffe ca be found free to download here, https://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/story/12770/ the links to the documents at the at the very bottom of the page are easily missed so I’ve included them below. http://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/material/614/ http://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/material/616/ The Durham at war website, https://www.durhamatwar.org.uk/ , is a very good source of general information with many individual stories.
