Summary "Short History of the London Rifle Brigade" by Unknown is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during World War I. This book details the formation, evolution, and operational history of the London Rifle Brigade, which has been closely linked with the City of London since its inception as a volunteer unit in 1859. The subject revolves around its military engagements, contributions to the war effort, and the experiences of its soldiers in various battles. The book is structured in two main parts, documenting both the early years and the activities of the Brigade during World War I. It covers the initial formation, recruitment, and training of the Brigade, followed by its mobilization and deployment to the front lines, including significant battles such as the Second Battle of Ypres. The narrative highlights the challenges faced by the soldiers, the camaraderie formed among ranks, and moments of bravery that marked their service. Detailed accounts of various officers, unit configurations, and insights into the harsh realities of trench warfare contribute to capturing the Brigade's rich legacy and its impact during a tumultuous period in history.
