To the Officers, Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, and Men of the 42nd (East Lancashire) Division
As their late Commander, I dedicate this history of their achievements, conspicuous even in days of great deeds, in the hope that the record of their unchanging spirit of courage, loyalty, and comradeship may give gratification to survivors and solace to relatives of the fallen.
