"The History of the 2/6th (Rifle) Battalion, 'The King's' (Liverpool Regiment)" by Capt. C. E. Wurtzburg is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This detailed narrative chronicles the formation, training, and experiences of a specific battalion during World War I, from its inception in 1914 through significant battles until the Armistice in 1919. The book serves as a tribute to the men of the battalion, highlighting their bravery, struggles,
and camaraderie throughout the war. The opening of the work provides an overview of the battalion's establishment against the backdrop of the early war years when the need for reserve units increased due to casualties and volunteers. The narrative begins with the battalion's formation and early training processes, emphasizing the dedication of its leaders, such as Colonel G. A. Wilson and Captain W. A. L. Fletcher. As the battalion prepares for active service, the author reflects on the initial chaotic but spirited days of enlistment, training exercises, and the morale of soldiers, setting the stage for the challenges and experiences they would face in the trenches of France.
