The Western Front 1914-18
The Tigers were in the thick of the fighting in the Great
War almost from the very start. Both regular battalions (1st & 2nd) were in France in 1914. The 2nd battalion fought
at Neuve Chapelle and Loos before leaving for Mesopotamia. In early 1915 two Territorial battalions, 1st/4th and 1st/5th,
joined the fray. Later that same year the Kitchener's Army battalions (6th, 7th, 8th & 9th) reached the battlefields.
In 1916 the 11th (North Midland Pioneer) battalion reached the front, along with the 2nd/4th and 2nd/5th battalions. The last
active service battalion was the 14th battalion raised in 1918. Click on a link to discover more about some of these battalions
and the battles in which they fought.
