Living day to day surrounded by death and the fear of never seeing loved ones again made the propaganda drive all the more effective as those at home learned about their sons and fathers fighting for the freedoms that many of us today take for granted. The press in recent times, however, enlighten us with stark reminders of bygone times and more often than not, heartwarming tributes of those who served over 100 years ago.</p><span style="float:right; padding-right:15px 15px;">[[Newspaper articles|Lonsdales in the press]]&nbsp;&nbsp;[[File:Globe font awesome.svg|right|20px|link=Newspaper articles]]</span>{{clear}}

| content = <p align="justify">Interested in helping out around here? There is always something to write, discover and learn about the [[The Lonsdale Battalion - an introduction|Lonsdale Battalion]] and the [[Border Regiment]]. As you can see from the menu on the left there are several projects that are a work-in-progress. Take a look at the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes made to the site]] to see what has been happening lately.
 
Our largest on-going project is the [[Lonsdale Battalion on this day...]] project. This is a listing of historical events associated with the actions of the Lonsdales, from formation in 1914 through to its disbandment in 1918. Whenever we learn something new and interesting about the Lonsdales we like to include what we can in the interest of free and accessible knowledge. Every project, however, no matter how large or small is just as important as the next, which is why they are of equal value and interest. Currently there are many other [[The Lonsdale Battalion:Site projects|site projects]] either on the go or waiting to be started, and this is where we need your help in making these available for everyone.
 
If you are interested in helping out you can [[The Lonsdale Battalion:Administrator's noticeboard|contact us]] with any questions you may have about any of the projects. Alternatively, if you have spotted any errors and omissions, would like to create news pages or simply edit some existing ones, you can do so by [[Special:CreateAccount|creating a new account]] and off you go. We look forward to seeing you around.
