Colonel Sandell has written an excellent account of the War

service of the Territorial Battalion which he commanded for its first two years in France. He has wisely refrained from encumbering his pages with any account of military operations outside the actual work of his own battalion. The most famous operation in which it took part was the capture of the Hindenburg Line at Bellcnglise by the 46th Division. We observe that "the freedom with which the enemy surren- dered was very noticeable ". ; the battalion took four hundred prisoners with the loss of five men killed. The Germans had fought very differently in earlier years of the War.
