This is the brief history of the 59th (2nd North Midland) Division, a peacetime Territorial division which mobilised on the outbreak of war. The podcast follows its movements and engagements from its deployment overseas in April 1916, through its campaigns in Ireland, France and Flanders, until the end of the war. I recommend using the Long Long Trail website by Chris Baker, if you need to find out which division your chosen unit or soldier served with.
