Summary "The Story of the 6th Battalion, the Durham Light Infantry" edited by Capt. R.B. Ainsworth, M.C., is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the experiences and contributions of this battalion during World War I, specifically covering their time in France from April 1915 through November 1918. It likely includes firsthand accounts of battles and military operations, as well as reflections on the soldiers' lives, camaraderie, and hardships faced during the war. The opening portion of the text sets the stage for the historical narrative by explaining the formation and preparation of the 6th Battalion, detailing their deployment from Gateshead to France in April 1915. It outlines the battalion's initial training, the soldiers' arrival in various camps, and the subsequent orders they received as they entered the trenches. The writing emphasizes the challenges and anticipations faced by these soldiers as they prepared to engage in battle, foreshadowing the harrowing experiences that would follow in the ongoing conflicts of World War I.
