Here at the Lonsdale Battalion wiki we are firm believers that knowledge about our history should be shared freely, to better our understanding of a challenging and devastating period that affected hundreds of millions of people. We have included what little public domain information we have been lucky enough to find – information such as battalion histories, war diaries and newspaper articles. Other information has been kindly donated by enthusiasts and relatives of those who served during the war, such as photos and military background. |

{{larger|'''Your photos'''}} – We have an ongoing [[Lonsdale Battalion Roll of Honour|Roll of Honour]] project, where every soldier who fell has a remembrance page, dedicated to them and their families.
