Excerpt from The 23rd (Service) Battalion Royal Fusiliers (First Sportsman's): A Record of Its Services in the Great War, 1914-1919: *We learnt from them the great difficulties that had to be overcome in raising new units, with very few Officers, warrant officers, and to lead the new force and instruct them in military routine. Without exception they were filled with admiration of the physique, intelligence, and spirit of the men who had rushed to arms in those dark early days of the war.*
