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.

Much of this information has come from primary sources such as the [[List of Surviving Lonsdale Records|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. |
