Worcester Regiment in Great War 1914-19

Please PM me with any request wulliam

I have a digital copy of the above work by Captain Stacke - it is the definitive work on the Worcestershire Regiment. I am willing to look it up for you on the following terms:


  • You must state the Battalion you are interested in. If you don't know the relevant Battalion then I am afraid I don't have time to trawl the 667 pages.
  • You must state the chapter or section that you wish me to look in. Please see the list below.
  • Please, NO general lookups for surnames or 'everything that the 3rd Battalion did in the war'.
  • The kind of request that will get most time from me is along the lines of, "Please look in the Roll of Honour for Joe F. Bloggs and find out what the 1st Battalion were doing between Feb & Apr 1917".


The Chapters


  • I Mons & the Aisne
  • II Flanders, 1914
  • III The County at War
  • IV The Spring of 1915
  • V Gallipoli - the 1st phase
  • VI Gallipoli - the 2nd phase
  • VII The Autumn offensive of 1915
  • VIII Macedonia, 1915-16
  • IX Mesopotamia - The Tigris Campaign, 1916
  • X The Spring of 1916 in Flanders and Artois
  • XI The Somme, 1916
  • XII The Conquest of Baghdad
  • XIII Macedonia, 1917
  • XIV France & Flanders, 1917
  • XV The Great German Offensive
  • XVI The German Offensives - continued
  • XVII Spring & Summer in Italy, 1918
  • XVIII Persia and the Caspian
  • XIX The summer of 1918 and the advance to Victory
  • XX The victory in the Balkans
  • XXI The victory in Italy
  • XXII The victory in France & Flanders
  • XXIII Aftermath
