| Summary | "The Fifth Battalion Highland Light Infantry in the War 1914-1918" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work documents the experiences of the 5th Battalion Highland Light Infantry during World War I, focusing particularly on their mobilization, service in various campaigns, including Gallipoli, and the subsequent challenges they faced. The narrative is likely crafted from the perspectives of those who served, capturing the camaraderie and valor of the men involved. The opening of this account sets the stage for the battalion's journey, detailing their rapid mobilization and initial training in Leven, Scotland, before embarking on their overseas service. It recounts their passage through locations like Alexandria, and Malta, painting a vivid picture of their transition from civilian life to active duty. The early chapters foreshadow the conflicts to come, as they are oriented towards the Gulf of Gallipoli, with a blend of lighthearted camaraderie in the face of military training and the anticipation of the impending hardships of war.
