Discover More about the Birmingham City Battalions
The “Birmingham Pals Battalions” were officially the 14th, 15th and 16th Service Battalions of The Royal Warwickshire Regiment. The new regiments were set up by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham in August 1914. The Pals Regiments were the brainchild of Lord Derby, allowing young men to serve with their friends, neighbours, work colleagues or even teammates. These records list the nearly 4,000 men who began their campaign in Boulogne in November 1915.
The Birmingham City Battalions Book of Honour was compiled in 1920. As well as full records the original book also contains many photographs of the soldiers. However there is no specific key to the individuals in each of these photographs.
