The Stockbroker’s Battalion, 10th Royal Fusiliers - David Carter
15 Aug

 “The Stockbroker’s Battalion, 10th Royal Fusiliers” which will be given by David Carter author of the long overdue history of this service battalion.

 

The Stockbrokers’ Battalion can justly claim to be the first of the volunteer Pals’ Battalions of the Great War. Its members ranged from wealthy bankers like the Rothschilds, to humble clerks in the City of London. The Battalion fought throughout the war on the western front from July 1915 to the Armistice.

 

 

There will be a raffle as usual and entrance to the meeting is by donation of £4.
