Cheshire Bantams, The: 15th, 16th, 17th Battalions of the Cheshire Regiment

Concentrating on a little known, but unique Great War organization, this is a major study of 'The Bantams'. Raised in Birkenhead in 1914, the Bantams were unique as the average height of the volunteers was a mere five foot. Despite their lack of stature, they fought with honour on the Somme before being decimated.
