Notes: 1. The 2/4th Battalion was formed in August 1914 initially from medically unfit personnel of the 4th Battalion and those who had not signed the Overseas Service Obligation. 2. The Battalion was disbanded in France on 20th February 1918 with personnel being transferred to other Infantry Battalions and the 24th Entrenching Battalion. 2. The Gloucestershire Regiment involvement in the Great War can be seen here. |
