Prince of Wales' Own is fortunate in having secured the

services of Captain Everard Wyrall's practised pen in bringing to completion the history of its many battalions that helped to lead the Great War to a victorious conclusion. Not of

course of general appeal, the: e reginiental histories are yet of inestimable value in keeping alive the sacred flame of corps tradition. Of that tradition surely not the least valuable parts for the West Yorks will be the action fought by the Second Battalion round Villers-Bretonneux on April 24th-25th, 1918, which kept the enemy out of Amiens, and the Croix de

Guerre awarded to the Eighth Battalion for its capture of Montagne de Bligny on July 28th in the same year, an honour that only four other British regiments can share.
