- catalog abstract ""The Tigers is the first major history of the Leicestershire Regiment in the Great War to be published since the 1930s. Weaving personal recollections and testimony with official accounts, it brings vividly to life the characters of the four battalions raised by Leicestershire in response to Lord Kitchener's call for volunteers. The book contains information on every major figure in each battalion (including Lieutenant-Colonel PE Bent VC) and contains the testimony of men not just from Leicester, but also from Loughborough, Coalville, Hinckley, Rutland, Market Harborough and Wigston. It follows them from training on Salisbury Plain through to the battles whose names are etched into the history of the Great War: The Somme, Arras and Passchendaele among them"--Dust jacket.".
