List of pals battalions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of pals battalions (also called "service" or "locally raised" battalions) of the British Army during the 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 regiments formed 142 locally raised battalions and 68 local reserve battalions.[1] The Guards Regiments[2] and the regiments formed only from Territorial Force battalions[3][lower-alpha 1] did not form pals battalions.
