Transcribed from the War Diary of the 2/4th Border Regiment (1914-1919) and not the original war diary. This book was published by Carlisle book company Chas. Thurnam and Sons in 1920. Entries from this source have been heavily abridged from their original form. This version of the war diary should be seen as a brief summary of events rather than a comprehensive account of the battalion's actions.

Place	Date	Hour	Summary of Events
	5th		A draft of 30 men arrived from the Depot at Kendal.
	12th		The Battalion, together with the remainder of the Brigade, was inspected by Lieut. -General Sir R. Pole-Carew, K.C.B., Inspector-General of the Territorial Force, and on the 15th a special Brigade Order was published congratulating all units of the Brigade on their satisfactory appearance at the inspection.
	22nd		A draft of 17 men arrived from the Depot at Kendal.
	29th		A draft of 53 men arrived from the Depot at Kendal, completing the strength of the Battalion. In January the Battalion was asked to supply a draft to the 5th Battalion The Border Regiment proceeding to France, but the request was finally cancelled.
