SHORT HISTORY

LONDON RIFLE BRIGADE

1916.
NOTE
Pending the full pre-war history, which is to bewritten by better hands, the very sketchy outline inPart I. is given in order to form the connecting linkbetween the Regiment in peace, since its formation,and the present time.
It does not attempt to give the smallest idea of thehard work, often accomplished under disadvantageouscircumstances, carried out by all ranks, which madepossible the work done in the war.
That the Regiment even now exists is solely dueto Lieut.-Colonel Lord Bingham (now Brigadier-Generalthe Earl of Lucan), whose cheery optimismthrough the dark times previous to the birth of theTerritorial Force was such a great tower of strength.
Any profits which may accrue from this pamphletwill be given to the London Rifle Brigade Prisoners'Aid Fund.
