Excerpt from The Saga of the Seventh DivisionMen's memories being short, it is advisable, if they condescend to read my Saga and are to understand the allusions, to recall to them what was this Seventh Division - Which some have called Immortal - and what it did to earn the epithet.It was formed at Lyndhurst in the New Forest in the September of 1914, composed of regiments from the garrisons of the Mediterranean, the Channel Islands, Egypt and South Africa, besides one battalion from Dublin and two battalions of the Guards. Being garrison regiments from foreign service, nearly up to war strength, so not stiffened to any extent by reservists, and the men being all of three to seven years' service, they were the ¿ower of the old British Army General French's contemptible little army, as the now historic phrase had it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
