Beschreibung
In-depth military history details the formation, training, and frontline actions of the 59th Division during 1914-1918, highlighting its evolution from a doubted unit to a decorated force on the Western Front. This new history spans the formation and training of the Division, their role in quelling the Irish Rising in 1916, and military operations on the Western Front 1917-1918. The author has undertaken extensive archival research and made use of unpublished primary sources from public archives. The 59th Division fought hard to throw off its perception as a second line, second rate unit into a formation that won a Victoria Cross and a myriad of Distinguished Conduct Medals and Distinguished Service Orders. Praise for Nigel Atter's work. In the Shadow of Bois Hugo does well at examining a New Army battalion that has escaped previous attention of historians. In the Shadow of Bois Hugo is an interesting account, written by someone with a deep attachment to the subject'. British Journal of Military HistoryWith Valour and Distinction. is an excellent and valuable book. Helion & Company have once again served their author well, producing a pleasing and attractive volume'. Leicestershire Historian 2020
