With Bayonets Fixed: the story of 12th and 13th Battalions The Durham Light Infantry, 1914-18 by John Sheen.
Local author John Sheen has unrivalled knowledge of the movements and actions of DLI Battalions in the First World War and here he discusses his research into the 12th and 13th Battalions of the DLI. This covers the raising and training of the two battalions that served in 68 Brigade of the famous 23rd Division, as well as their time in France, on the Somme in 1916 and at Messines and the Third Battle of Ypres in 1917, before moving to the Italian Front.
