Tyneside Scottish: A History of the Tyneside Scottish Brigade Raised in the North East in World War One Kindle Edition

by Graham Stewart (Author), John Sheen (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 26 ratings
The exploits of the twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second, and twenty-third (Service) Battalions of the Northumberland Fusiliers during the Great War—“Harder Than Hammers.”
 
Although called the Tyneside Scottish, very few of the men who made up this Brigade were of Scottish descent. Many came from local villages or were from the Northumberland pits. They saw action at the Battle of the Somme and after it were allowed to put tartan behind their cap badges because of their bravery.
 
“This remarkable product of much research includes lists of those who received gallantry awards and of officers and other ranks. It is an informative book which will be of great help to anyone researching the Tyneside Scottish during WWI and which will also act as a keepsake for those who have a particular interest in the regiments.” —Northumberland & Durham Family History Society

    I have to admit that I haven't read every written word in this lovely book, but I have been through it fairly comprehensively looking for information on my grandad, who joined the Tyneside Scottish Northumberland Fusiliers in 1916 having previously been a miner (coal hewer ). Unfortunately I was unable to find any reference to him at all. I will have to keep trying.

    Nevertheless, I really enjoyed reading about the regiment and found the photographs very interesting.

    My great-uncle signed up for this regiment even though he was Welsh (recruited in Newport) so I was interested to learn more about it. I haven't read it all yet but it is a fascinating record of the Regiment.

    This book is incredible - I found two entries about my grand-father who served with the 20 Battalion and was awarded the Military Medal for bravery as a Lance Corporal.

    Great account of one of the north easts brave battalions, that suffered horribly at the Somme in 1916, also daily life in the trenches.
