Harrogate & Ripon, just a few miles apart in one of the most beautiful localities in Yorkshire, have rarely had their contributions to the Great War told all together, in one volume.
Stephen Wade has written an account of their importance, from the Ripon camps, where thousands of infantrymen for Kitcheners new Pals Battalions were trained, to the many Harrogate hospitals where casualties were cared for.
Added to this are stories of local individuals, at home & in the European theatre of war, who played their part in this massive conflict.
The book provides ample evidence that Harrogate & Ripon, along with their surrounding areas, have a fine record for courage & determination during the First World War.
