EDITOR'S NOTES.

The Vpres Times.
To enable us to sell it so cheaply, we are compelled to dispense with paying a publisher to circulate
it in the usual way. Consequently the Committee have to rely upon getting in touch with ex-members
of the Division direct, trusting to them to pass on news of the history to people of their acquaintance.
It is in this connection that I write to ask you for your support, and I should be most grateful if you
could see your way to insert some short notice or paragraph in your paper drawing attention to its
publication.
I attach a short note giving particulars.
Yours faithfully,
W. HENEKER, Lieut.-General.
The History of the 8th Division, which included the following Regular Infantry Regiments
2nd Devons, 1st Worcesters,
2nd West Yorks, 2nd Northants,
2nd Middlesex, 2nd Rifle Brigade,
2nd Scottish Rifles, 2nd Royal Berks,
2nd East Lanes., 1st R. Ulster Rifles,
1st Sherwoods, 2nd Lines.
the 33rd and 57th Bdes. R.F.A., and 5th Brigade R.H.A., and the 2nd and 15th Field Companies R.E.
is now in the printers' hands, and will be ready for sale in November. It is written by Col. J. H.
Boraston, the writer of the Official Communiques during the latter half of the War, and is a history of
the Division from the time of its mobilisation at Hursley Park up to the Armistice. It is introduced
by an appreciative foreword by Field-Marshal Earl Haig and is illustrated by 16 plates and 18 maps
and sketches. The story of every engagement in which the Division took part is re-told and is treated
in relation to its effect upon the War as a whole. A full list of the Divisional honours and awards is
included in the appendices, as are also the composition of Headquarters throughout the War, the
principal orders of battle, a table of Divisional sectors, engagements and casualties, and a colour plate
showing the distinctive shoulder patches worn by units of the Division.
The price will be 6s. 6d. (post free 7s. 6d. in the British Isles). The object of offering the book at
this low price is to bring it within the purchasing power of the rank and file, as well as of the officers who
served with the Division.
People interested in obtaining copies should write for information to Captain Sidney Rogerson,
39, St. James's Street, London, S.W.I.
