Comments: This long awaited second volume in Howard Williamson’s Great War Medal Collectors Companion has now been published. Sales of Volume I are currently standing at [approximately] 3400. It has been decided that the print run for Volume II will only number around 2000 so early ordering is highly recommended.
It became clear that the vast amount of information gathered for Volume II would take more than one volume to print, so it was decided to split the work into two Volumes.
Please Note chapter and page numbering continues sequentially with each Volume. Consequently Volume II begins with Chapter 6 on page 572.
This incredible study comprises 200 pages packed with information on the regimental numbers and prefixes allocated to the Soldiers of the Great War. For the section on Line Regiments, the Author collaborated closely with Paul Nixon, whose internet blog on Regimental Numbers provided much additional information to that compiled by the Author. The Territorial re-numberings of 1917 are all included, plus information on which number blocks were allocated to those in action on the First Day of The Somme.
