HB 150pp. 2003 N&MP Reprint of 1920 Original Edition The 4th (TF) Battalion of the King's Own went to France in May 1915 as part of the N Lancashire Brigade (154th), which had replaced a Highland brigade in 51st Highland Division. The brigade's parent division, the West Lancashire Division, had been broken up to provide reinforcements for the BEF.

There are no dates with these various nominal rolls. According to the divisional history, the battalion casualties from January 1916 (when the division re-formed) to November 11th totalled 3,061. Finally there is an index.…
