The Honourable Artillery Company in the Great War

"The Honourable Artillery Company in the Great War 1914-1919" provides a comprehensive and detailed account of one of the British Army's most venerable units during the first global conflict of the twentieth century. Written by G. Goold Walker, this regimental history chronicles the multifaceted contributions of the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) from the initial outbreak of hostilities in 1914 to the armistice and beyond. The work meticulously documents the actions of the company's various units, including its infantry battalions and horse artillery batteries, as they served across multiple fronts, most notably in France, Flanders, Italy, and the Middle East.

This volume serves as an essential record of the bravery, tactical movements, and daily experiences of the soldiers within the HAC. It offers insights into the strategic challenges faced on the battlefield and the logistical complexities of modern warfare during the Great War. Readers interested in military strategy, British regimental traditions, and the personal sacrifices of those who served will find this an invaluable historical resource. By blending official records with narrative detail, Walker captures the spirit and resilience of a regiment with a storied history dating back centuries, contextualizing its service within the broader scope of the Allied victory.
