'''''The Lonsdale Battalion 1914–1918''''' is a comprehensive study relating to the formation of [[Hugh Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale|Lord Lonsdale’s]]
Colin's writing is also inspired by his poignant visit to the Somme Battlefields, and to [[Lonsdale Cemetery]] where buried and commemorated are 1,545 Commonwealth casualties (729 identified, and 816 unidentified), a number of Lonsdale men from the towns and villages of Cumberland and Westmorland. On the reverse cover of the book is Colin, pictured standing behind the grave of his relative, [[John Bardgett (15309)]], who is also the great grandfather of this website's creator and administrator. Many local people from Penrith and the surrounding area, the Border Regiment Museum at Carlisle, the Penrith Museum, and the families of the men who served in the Lonsdale Battalion are gratefully acknowledged for their help during the research of this book.
