<div class="mbox mbox-med" role="presentation"><span class="mbox-title"><span class="mbox-icon metadata">[[File:OOjs UI icon notice.svg|14px|link=]]</span>'''This category and all of its contents are being migrated to [https://thegreatwar.uk/wiki/Category:Glossary_of_words_and_phrases Glossary of Words and Phrases] on our sister project [https://thegreatwar.uk The Great War]'''</span>
This category page forms the central hub of our glossary system. The main glossary consists of words and phrases of the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom of [[Great Britain]] during the Great War, which also includes: technicalities, [[trench]] slang, expressions in everyday use, nicknames, sobriquets, the titles and origins of British and [[Commonwealth]] [[Regiment]]s, and warfare in general. Please feel free to help expand and improve this content.<br>▼
<div class="mbox-text">This is being done because the '''Lonsdale Battalion''' and '''Great War''' projects are two separate entities that require their own spaces to continue effectively. The Lonsdale Battalion website needs to remain focussed on its original goals. Once the migration is complete, the pages here will be removed and the category deleted. All online presence of these pages will continue at [https://thegreatwar.uk thegreatwar.uk]</div>

The following sources have been used in compiling this glossary of words and phrases:
*''[[Soldier and Sailor Words and Phrases]]''
*''[[The War Book-of-Facts]]''
*''[[Odhams' A.B.C. of the Great War]]''
Although the majority of terms listed here are gleaned from these publications (no longer in copyright), there are various entries listed from other sources. These have been referenced accordingly. In addition to this glossary, there is an index of people, places, ships etc., with events compiled in chronological date format. These are sourced primarily from the comprehensive three-volume publication of ''[[Chronology of the War]]'' (1918–1920) by {{wl|Lord Edward Gleichen}}. This is independent of these glossary words and phrases, and can be seen on the main [[:Category:Index|index category page]].
