==Casualties of the 5th Battalion (Roll of Honour)==
''[[Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-19:, Volume 39, The Border Regiment]]'' does not differentiate between the three battalions of the Cumberland Territorial Force. A soldier from the 2/5th Battalion is listed as serving in the 5th Battalion. As a result of this, casualties of the 1/5th, 2/5th and 3/5th Battalions have been combined into one Roll of Honour.
