"The regimental roll of honour and war record of the Artists' Rifles (1/28th, 2/28th, and 3/28th Battalions, the London Regiment T.F.)" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive work chronicles the service, sacrifices, promotions, and honours of the members of the Artists' Rifles during the First World War. It is structured as both a detailed roll of honour and a narrative record of the regiment's operations and contributions. The primary focus is on the men who served, the battles fought, the casualties endured, and the unique role played by the Artists' Rifles in officer training and frontline action. The opening of this book presents both an official tone and personal recollections. It includes a foreword by Colonel May, expressing pride in the regiment and summarizing the immense contributions and losses of its members. The editor’s preface details the evolution of the regiment, its rapid mobilization at the outbreak of war, and highlights its pivotal function in supplying and training officers for the British Army. The narrative continues with an account of the battalion’s early actions, the formation and roles of the second and third battalions, and the organization of officer training programs. Tables and summaries illustrate casualties, honours, and the number of officers commissioned. The opening also relays vivid accounts of major battles on the Western Front, including Passchendaele and the final offensives of 1918, emphasizing personal experiences and the challenges faced by the regiment from mobilization through the Armistice.
