to start searchingAt the Lonsdale Battalion wiki we believe in the sharing of knowledge to better understand a challenging and devastating period that affected hundreds of millions of people. This knowledge should be available to everyone without cost. Included here is public domain information we have been able to find, such as battalion histories, war diaries and newspaper articles. Do you have any connection with the Lonsdale Battalion and the Border Regiment? Or maybe you have some information you would like to share? If you do, then we would like to hear from you.

Notes
- ↑ The Battalion war diary states that at midnight on 9/10 May, 1918, the 5th Border Regiment and 11th Border Regiment were amalgamated. After amalgamation a training cadre of ten officers and 51 other ranks was formed and retained the Lonsdale title of the 11th Battalion the Border Regiment, which continued as a training cadre until total disbandment on 31 July, 1918. The remaining cadre then joined the 1/5th Border Regiment and the Lonsdale Battalion ceased to exist.
- ↑ Additionally, during the period 13–19 May, 1918, the Lonsdales were under the administration of 198 Infantry Brigade. On 20 May they were transferred to the 199 Infantry Brigade.
