This page comprises words relating to the Lonsdale Battalion, including the other battalions of the Border Regiment, predominantly in connection with their actions and the places they were known to have been stationed or fought during the 1914-1918 period. Other words relating to general phrases may be included if there is a connection. Much of this information has come from primary sources such as the Lonsdale records and the Border Regiment War Diaries, amongst others. This is by no means a comprehensive listing, and new additions will continue to be included as the various projects continue.
For a comprehensive listing of words and phrases of the Armed Forces of Great Britain during the Great War, see our sister project Glossary of words and phrases over at The Great War. There you find slang of the trenches and the Air Force; British and American service terms and expressions in everyday use; and warfare in general. These words and phrases are contemporary with the war, which is reflected in the language used, some of which may seem derogatory by today's standards.
