| Summary |
"The History of the 9th (Scottish) Division, 1914-1919" by M.C. John Ewing is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the experiences of the 9th (Scottish) Division during World War I, detailing their formation, battles, and overall contributions to the war effort. With a focus on military operations, the book aims to serve as a testament to the bravery, strategies, and challenges faced by the soldiers of this division throughout their service. At the start of the narrative, a transcriber’s note establishes the structure for the presentation of the book, including conventions for notation and formatting within the text. The introduction by Field-Marshal Lord Plumer emphasizes the significance of the 9th Division’s actions during the war and praises their fighting spirit and effectiveness in various operations. The opening chapters highlight the context leading up to the war, the formation of the division under Lord Kitchener, and initial training experiences in preparation for combat. The text places considerable emphasis on the transition from civilian life to military service, preparing the soldiers for the rigors of trench warfare, while also recognizing the high morale and eagerness of the men to prove themselves on the battlefield.
