At 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. We have included some 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? The Border Regiment? Or have any information you would like to share? If so, find out more about helping out, and just so you know, you can reach out to us any time.

-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 stories'''}} – Some men came back, many did not. For families who have '''stories to tell''', we would very much like to hear about them, and how they may have impacted peoples' lives. We would like to provide a space for your stories, and the memory of your loved ones.
-{{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. We are interested in digital photographs of soldiers, military documents, paraphernalia and background histories to compliment the rolls we have already included, and for those we have yet to create.
-{{larger|'''Your information'''}} – Documents related to the Lonsdale Battalion and Border Regiment, no matter how small, will always have a home here so that the memories of individuals, and the larger units of soldiers, can be remembered for future generations. If you can assist in any way, please [[The Lonsdale Battalion talk:Reach out to us|reach out to us here]].
