Notes
This book is about the two battalions of the (Territorial) Norfolk Regiment - the 4th and the 5th - which were deployed to Gallipoli in 1915 as part of the 54th (East Anglian) Division. The 5th Battalion was more or less destroyed by a Turkish attack on 12th August 1915. This battalion included the Sandringham Company, comprised of the workers on the Sandringham Estate. It was this action which led to the myth about the Company completely "disappearing". The book also covers these battalions' service in Palestine in 1917 and 1918.
