Facsimile Reprint Of Original 1919 Publication
"Officers Died in the Great War 1914-1919, issued here as a 1975 HMSO facsimile of the original 1919 publication, is one of the most significant primary reference works for understanding British and Commonwealth officer casualties of the First World War. Divided into Part I: Old and New Armies and Part II: Territorial Force, it presents an exhaustive alphabetical roll of officers who fell during the conflict, listing regimental affiliations, dates and places of death, and in many cases useful notes on rank, attachments, or circumstances. Compiled immediately after the Armistice, the volume reflects the sober, meticulous record-keeping of the era and serves as an essential tool for tracing individual military service and the human cost of the war.
As a facsimile, the 1975 edition reproduces the original format exactly, preserving the typography, layout, and organisational logic intended for official use by War Office staff, regimental historians, and bereaved families. The result is a work of both documentary precision and quiet poignancy, offering scholars and genealogists a vital means of verifying service details while providing collectors with an authentic reproduction of a foundational WWI reference. This edition will appeal to military historians, family-history researchers, and collectors of First World War documentation."
