    About this ebook

    "War Services of the 62nd West Riding" by Austin Thomas Anderson is a narrative by Colonel Anderson. In this book, he commenced his interesting record of the war services of the 62nd Divisional Artillery in January 1917. There are many glorious episodes described in the following pages, many plain unvarnished tales of heroism, and many records of what, to the casual reader unacquainted with the conditions of life "out there," may appear to be commonplace drudgery. Excerpt: "THE FIRST ADVANCE On the 23rd December, 1916, the 62nd Division received orders to embark for France. The artillery, which was billeted in Northampton, was conveyed from Southampton to Havre on the 6th and 7th January, 1917, and thence railed to the concentration area at and around Wavans, near Auxi-le-Chateau. The weather was of the worst type that January can give, alternate frost and thaw and bitterly cold, and we began to experience at once the distressing conditions of mud and slush, which were to be so normal a feature in this and the two following winters in France and Belgium."

      From 1792 onwards, war with Revolutionary France created a deep-seated fear of French invasion in Britain. While the prospect of an enemy invader on home soil was bad enough, there was an additional political dimension at play here. The French were a
