| Unit / Ship / Est.: 19th Battalion London Regiment (St Pancras) |
1/19th (County of London) Battalion (St Pancras) August 1914 : at 76 High Street, Camden Town. Record same as 1/18th Bn. 10 March 1915 : landed at Le Havre. 11 May 1915 : formation became 141st Brigade in 47th (2nd London) Division. |
| Action : The Battle of Festubert |
Festubert (15-25 May 1915) was really a continuation of the Battle of Aubers Ridge that had been called off on 10th May, and in places fought over the same ground with the same depressing outcome. Some minor tactical success was achieved but it did not justify the 16,000 casualties. It did however reinforce the lessons of Neuve Chapelle and Aubers Ridge and conditioned planning and thinking that evolved into the tactical planning of the Somme in 1916.
