We left the redoubtable men of the 7th Battalion The Suffolk Regiment marching towards the front line 100 years ago to prepare for The Big Push. As I explained last week, there were a number of other volunteer battalions raised from across Suffolk, all looking to join the Regular and Territorial battalions who wore the same cap badge. This week we pick up the trail of two more of our county battalions, the 8th and 9th Suffolks, both of whom in 1915 were destined to serve on the Western Front.

Some months later, in July, 1915, the 8th embarked for France, landing from troopships at Boulogne. The 18th Division then moved toward the small town of Albert in what was known as the Somme sector. This was an area of Northern France with which the men of the 18th.
