ianshuter Posted 6 May , 2023 Share Posted 6 May , 2023 I am looking for a book on the detailed history of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in WW1 only. I have a copy of the The History of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment by Mark Smith but it is a little to generic for me and I am looking for one with more specific details about the major battles at least. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 6 May , 2023 Admin Share Posted 6 May , 2023 Any specific battalion? You might have to drill down to the war diaries but here’s three I’ve found. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seek-Glory-Now-Keep-Warwickshire/dp/1874622450 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/First-World-War-Record-5th-Battalion-Royal-Warwickshire-Regiment/303290978961?pageci=6adab4be-9fb0-4d6c-96df-71d7d54d5c67&epid=28006126438&redirect=mobile https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/terry-carter/birmingham-pals-hist-of-the-14th-15th-16th-battalions-of-the-royal-warwickshire/9780850525472?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18059580451&cq_con=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqMakn9fg_gIV187VCh0PwwGbEAQYAiABEgKVF_D_BwE#GOR005442774 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now keeping a spreadsheet with all the war diary extracts I use because there is a gap for the RWR and nothing like the websites neighbouring counties for the O&BLI, Worcestershire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
