R.C. Sherriff, author of Journeys End, the most famous play of the Great War, saw all his frontline service with the 9th Battalion East Surrey Regiment.

This intense experience profoundly affected his writing &, through his play, it continues to have a powerful influence on our understanding of the conflict.

Yet the story of his battalion has never been told in full until now. In The Journeys End Battalion, Michael Lucas gives a vivid account of its history. Using official & unofficial sources, diaries, letters, & British & German wartime records, he describes the individuals who served in it & the operations they took part in.

He identifies the inspiration for Journeys End & considers how Sherriff delved into his experiences & those of his fellow soldiers in order to create his drama.

So not only does the book shed new light on the wartime career of R.C. Sherriff, but it is a valuable record of the operation of a British battalion on the Western Front during the Great War.
