Even a small book takes a lot of people to make it happen. My thanks go to Major N Allbuery MBE and Mrs Pat Boyd at the Prince of Waless Own Regiment of Yorkshire Museum for access to the Regimental Archives, and for their help and tolerance during my researches. My thanks to the relations of the Battalions officers, to Lucy Harrison for material on Hedley Heaton and Arthur Smith, to Rodney and Audrey Bottomley and Trevor Johnson for information and photographs of Colonel Bottomley, to Carol Wright and Audrey Mylne, the grand daughters of Colonel Josselyn, to Colonel John Waddy for material about his father Colonel R H Waddy and to Michael Wilson for permission to use quotations and photographs from Peter, A Life Remembered . Robert Carrington, Pat and Tony Bedingham, Sandra Ascough, David Lockwood and Brian and Sue Mullarvey all provided material from their archives for which I am very grateful. Richard Davies of the Liddle Collection has been a great help and guide through that magnificent archive and thanks to Mrs Margaret Power of Harrogate Library for her help and enthusiasm. Tony Cheals website has been a superb source of correspondence and background on the Harrogate men and I am very grateful to him. The professional researcher Roger Nixon undertook a huge amount of effort at the National Archives as did Brian Jones in Leeds and Bradford my thanks to them both.
Photographs have been hard to come by and I am grateful to Don Jackson for unpublished photographs of the Battalion in the UK and for his invaluable assistance in the compilation of the honours and awards list, to Harriet Bennett for photos of Geoffrey Skirrow and to Tracy Leung and Paul Cooper for guiding me to Ackrills Annuals. Thanks also to Malcolm Neesam for photographs from Ackrills and to Colonel Charles Crossland, formerly adjutant of the 5th Battalion, for photographs from the later days of the Battalion. Analysis of casualties has been based on the Naval and Military press CD Soldiers Died in the Great War .
My thanks to Dr Mark Beggs and Adam Cowley for accompanying me across many battlefields, tolerating my enthusiasms and assisting with the editing. Lieutenant Colonel Collins (Royal Signals) has been an invaluable help throughout the creation of this book both on military matters and on style. Thanks also to Mrs Vanessa Skirrow Gray for a huge amount of research on the background of the officers and men and to Jonathan Falconer for his encouragement and advice. I would also like to express my gratitude to Susan Econicoff and Rupert Harding of Pen & Sword without whom this project could never have taken place.
Lastly to my wife Lisa, who was not aware when marrying me that she was also hitched to this book.
Copyright while every attempt has been made to find copyright owners, the passage of time has worked against me. Should any copyright holder come forward after publication I would be delighted to make the proper acknowledgements. In particular, efforts to find the descendants of Captain Green, whose letters made this work possible, have failed and I would be very keen to hear from them.
A note on sources much of the original material comes from soldiers letters, many written in the trenches. As little change as possible has been made to their spelling and grammar so there are some inconsistencies in the text e.g. Arthur Green habitually nicknames the Germans Bosche where the correct spelling is Boche. His usage remains unaltered.
