List of pals battalions

{{Short description|none}} {{Use British English|date=August 2014}} {{Use dmy dates|date=August 2014}} [[File:Football Battalion Poster.jpg|thumb|Recruiting poster for the [[Football Battalion]]]] This is a '''list of [[pals battalions]]''' (also called "service" or "locally raised" battalions) of the [[British Army]] during the [[World War I|First World War]]. Pre-war [[Territorial Force]] (T.F.) battalions have not been included, although they too usually recruited from a specific area or occupation. The 69 line [[infantry]] [[regiment]]s formed 142 ''locally raised'' battalions and 68 ''local reserve'' battalions.<ref name=JamesAppII>{{harvnb|James|1978|loc=Appendix II to Part II}}</ref> The [[Guards Division|Guards Regiments]]<ref name=JamesTableA>{{harvnb|James|1978|loc=Table A, Appendix I to Part II}}</ref> and the regiments formed only from Territorial Force battalions<ref name=JamesTableC>{{harvnb|James|1978|loc=Table C, Appendix I to Part II}}</ref>{{efn|name=TF_only|Regiments that were made up exclusively of [[Territorial Force]] battalions were: * [[Honourable Artillery Company]] * [[Monmouthshire Regiment]] * [[Cambridgeshire Regiment]] * [[London Regiment (1908–1938)|London Regiment]] * [[Hertfordshire Regiment]] * [[Herefordshire Light Infantry|Herefordshire Regiment]]}} did not form pals battalions.

==History== [[Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener|Lord Kitchener]] was one of the few people in 1914 to realise that the [[First World War]] was not going to be a short one; he believed that it would last three years and would require an army of 70 divisions. He eschewed the [[Territorial Force]]{{snd}}partly due to the limitations imposed by its terms of service but also due to the poor impression he formed when observing the French Territorials in the [[Franco-Prussian War]]{{snd}}and did not make use of the framework envisioned by [[Haldane Reforms|Haldane's Reforms]]. He launched his appeal for 100,000 volunteers on 7 August 1914 to form a first New Army of six divisions (and support units) and within a few days this target had been reached; by the end of September, half a million volunteers had come forward to form the New Armies.<ref name=JamesAppII/>

Each of the 69 line infantry regiments raised one battalion for the [[Kitchener's Army#Kitchener's First New Army|First]] (K1){{efn|The [[Royal Scots]], the [[Highland Light Infantry]] and the [[Seaforth Highlanders]] raised two battalions for the [[9th (Scottish) Division]];<ref name=Becke6>{{harvnb|Becke|1938|p=6}}</ref> the [[Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers]], the [[Royal Irish Fusiliers]], the [[Royal Dublin Fusiliers]] and the [[Royal Munster Fusiliers]] raised two battalions for the [[10th (Irish) Division]];<ref name=Becke14>{{harvnb|Becke|1938|p=14}}</ref> the [[Royal Fusiliers]] raised two battalions for the [[12th (Eastern) Division]];<ref name=Becke30>{{harvnb|Becke|1938|p=30}}</ref> and the [[Rifle Brigade]] and the [[King's Royal Rifle Corps]] raised three battalions for the [[14th (Light) Division]]<ref name=Becke48>{{harvnb|Becke|1938|p=48}}</ref> for a total of 81 battalions.}} and for the [[Kitchener's Army#Kitchener's Second New Army|Second New Armies]] (K2){{efn|The [[King's Own Scottish Borderers]], the [[Gordon Highlanders]] and the [[Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders]] raised two battalions for the [[15th (Scottish) Infantry Division|15th (Scottish) Division]];<ref name=Becke56>{{harvnb|Becke|1938|p=56}}</ref> the [[Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers]], the [[Royal Irish Fusiliers]], the [[Royal Dublin Fusiliers]] and the [[Royal Munster Fusiliers]] raised two battalions for the [[16th (Irish) Division]];<ref name=Becke64>{{harvnb|Becke|1938|p=64}}</ref> the [[Royal Fusiliers]] raised two battalions for the [[18th (Eastern) Division]];<ref name=Becke82>{{harvnb|Becke|1938|p=82}}</ref> and the [[Rifle Brigade]] and the [[King's Royal Rifle Corps]] raised three battalions for the [[20th (Light) Division]]<ref name=Becke98>{{harvnb|Becke|1938|p=98}}</ref> for a total of 81 battalions.}} designated as "service" battalions and numbered after the existing Territorial Force battalions of their parent regiments. This rigid structure did not take account of the differing ability of regiments to raise troops based upon the population of their recruiting areas. Therefore, the [[Kitchener's Army#Kitchener's Third New Army|Third New Army]] (K3) had a much higher proportion of battalions from the more populous north of England, notably Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Durham and Northumberland. The [[Kitchener's Army#Kitchener's Fourth New Army|Fourth New Army]] (K4) was formed from men of the [[Special Reserve (militia)|Reserve and Special Reserve]] battalions which were over establishment. Originally formed into the 30th{{snd}}35th Divisions, these were broken up so the battalions could train recruits and send drafts to the first three New Armies.<ref name=JamesAppII/>

While the first four New Armies were being raised, a number of "service" battalions were also being raised by committees in cities and towns, and by other organizations and individuals. These units were recruited on a more narrow basis than usual, such as men who worked in a specific occupation or at a certain business, and were popularly known as "[[pals battalions]]". These were housed, clothed and fed by their committees until the [[War Office]] took them over in 1915 and the raisers' expenses were refunded. These units formed the [[Kitchener's Army#Kitchener's Fifth New Army|Fifth]] and [[Kitchener's Army#Kitchener's Sixth New Army|Sixth New Armies]] (later called the new Fourth and Fifth New Armies when the original Fourth New Army was broken up).<ref name=JamesAppII/>

The locally recruited battalions also formed depot [[Company (military)|companies]] and in 1915 these were grouped into "reserve" battalions to provide reinforcements for their parents. They became part of the [[British Army First World War reserve brigades|Training Reserve]] on 1 September 1916.<ref name=LLT_TR>{{cite web|url=http://www.1914-1918.net/training_reserve.htm |title=The Training Reserve |publisher=The Long, Long Trail |first=Chris |last=Baker |access-date=16 July 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140703143625/http://1914-1918.net/training_reserve.htm |archive-date=3 July 2014 }}</ref>

===Units===

The recruitment of pals battalions was confined to the 69 line [[infantry]] [[regiment]]s of the [[British Army]]. The [[Guards Division|Guards Regiments]]<ref name=JamesTableA/> and regiments formed only from Territorial Force battalions<ref name=JamesTableC/>{{efn|name=TF_only}} did not form any pals battalions. Amongst the line infantry regiments, there was considerable variation in the number of battalions recruited, depending upon the population of the regiment's recruiting areas. No pals battalions were raised in the more rural areas of England, the Scottish Highlands, or Ireland.

The [[Northumberland Fusiliers]] raised the largest number of pals battalions (twelve) of any regiment,<ref name=James4647>{{harvnb|James|1978|pp=46–47}}</ref> followed by ten raised by the [[Royal Fusiliers]],<ref name=James4950>{{harvnb|James|1978|pp=49–50}}</ref> nine for the [[Welch Regiment]],<ref name=James83>{{harvnb|James|1978|p=83}}</ref> nine for the [[Middlesex Regiment]],<ref name=James9394>{{harvnb|James|1978|pp=93–94}}</ref> and nine for the [[Manchester Regiment]].<ref name=James9798>{{harvnb|James|1978|pp=97–98}}</ref> The [[Royal Irish Rifles]] had nine battalions raised in a similar fashion from the [[Ulster Volunteers|Ulster Volunteer Force]].<ref name=James106>{{harvnb|James|1978|p=106}}</ref>

In all, 142 "service" battalions and 68 "reserve" battalions were formed.<ref name=JamesAppII/>

===Formations===

The pals battalions formed the bulk of the infantry for the divisions of the Fifth New Army ([[30th Division (United Kingdom)|30th]], [[31st Division (United Kingdom)|31st]], [[32nd Division (United Kingdom)|32nd]], [[33rd Division (United Kingdom)|33rd]], [[34th Division (United Kingdom)|34th]], and [[35th Division (United Kingdom)|35th]]) and the Sixth New Army ([[36th (Ulster) Division|36th (Ulster)]], [[37th Division (United Kingdom)|37th]], [[38th (Welsh) Division|38th (Welsh)]], [[39th Division (United Kingdom)|39th]], [[40th Division (United Kingdom)|40th]], and [[41st Division (United Kingdom)|41st]]).

A handful of battalions served away from the Fifth and Sixth New Army divisions: * [[10th (Service) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers (Stockbrokers)]] was initially an 'Army Troops' battalion attached to the [[54th Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)|54th Brigade]], [[18th (Eastern) Division]] (Second New Army), and then served with [[37th Division (United Kingdom)|37th Division]] on the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]]<ref name=James49/> * 25th (Service) Battalion, [[Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment)]] ([[25th (Frontiersmen) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers|Frontiersmen]]) served in the [[East African Campaign (World War I)|East African Campaign]] from May 1915 to the end of 1917<ref name=James50/> * 21st (Service) Battalion, [[Prince of Wales's Own (West Yorkshire Regiment)]] (Wool Textile Pioneers) as [[Pioneer (military)|Pioneers]] in the [[Regular army|Regular]] [[4th Division (United Kingdom)|4th Division]]<ref name=James58/> * 11th (Service) Battalion, [[Leicestershire Regiment]] (Midland Pioneers) as Pioneers in the Regular [[6th Division (United Kingdom)|6th Division]]<ref name=James61/> * 13th (Service) Battalion, [[Cheshire Regiment]] was locally raised but was assigned to the [[74th Brigade (United Kingdom)|74th Brigade]], [[25th Division (United Kingdom)|25th Division]] (Third New Army)<ref name=James66/> * 13th (Service) Battalion, [[Worcestershire Regiment]] (Severn Valley Pioneers) as Pioneers in the [[63rd (Royal Naval) Division]]<ref name=James73/> * 10th (Service) Battalion, [[Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry]] (Cornwall Pioneers) as Pioneers in the Regular [[2nd Division (United Kingdom)|2nd Division]]<ref name=James76/> * 23rd (Service) Battalion, [[Welsh Regiment]] (Welsh Pioneers) as Pioneers in the Regular [[28th Division (United Kingdom)|28th Division]]<ref name=James83/> * 26th (Service) Battalion, [[Duke of Cambridge's Own (Middlesex Regiment)]] (3rd Public Works Pioneers) as Pioneers in the Regular [[27th Division (United Kingdom)|27th Division]]<ref name=James94/> * 20th (Service) Battalion, [[King's Royal Rifle Corps]] (British Empire League Pioneers) as Pioneers in the Regular [[3rd Division (United Kingdom)|3rd Division]]<ref name=James95/> * 22nd (Service) Battalion, [[Durham Light Infantry]] (3rd County Pioneers) as Pioneers in the Regular [[8th Division (United Kingdom)|8th Division]]<ref name=James101/>
