Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The London Regiment was unusual. Not only were all of its battalions of the Territorial Force (although the first four were affiliated to the other City of London regiment, the all-regular Royal Fusiliers) but each battalion was regarded as a corps in its own right:
1/5th (City of London) Battalion (London Rifle Brigade)
August 1914 : at 130 Bunhill Row. Part of 2nd London Brigade, 1st London Division. Moved on mobilisation to Bisley, going on in September to Crowborough.
5 November 1914 : left the Division and landed at Le Havre.
17 November 1914 : came under command of 11th Brigade in 4th Division.
19 May 1915 : transferred to GHQ Troops and formed a composite unit with 1/12th and 1/13th Bns. Resumed identity 11 August.
25 October 1915 : transferred to 8th Brigade in 3rd Division.
10 February 1916 : transferred to 169th Brigade in 56th (London) Division.
