LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL RECORD OF WAR SERVICE (1914 18)

A short history of the war as it affected the staff of the LCC, with brief particulars of their service

This book was published by the London County Council, to be presented to each member of the staff who served in the Great War, or to the next-of-kin of those who died on service, as a mark of the Council's appreciation. It is a short history of the war so far as the staff were concerned, with brief particulars of their service. The maps show practically every place mentioned in the battle areas. The narrative and comments are based for the most part on the despatches of the various theatre commanders in chief and works by military historians. In the narrative, which takes in all Fronts, it describes the fighting and notes deaths in action and any awards made The chapter on the RAF is based on the official Short History of the RAF . All this constitutes the first part of the book which concludes with an index of names of the Council's staff mentioned in the text. The second part is the record of service which gives brief details of the war service of the Council's staff who amount to several thousand. This list is in alphabetical order by departments, giving name, the years of war service, e.g., 1914-1916, rank, unit and where served. Those who died are marked by an asterisk and in such cases the date of death is given.
