First World War history.

This short history of the 5th North Stafford Territorials is largely due to the efforts of Colonel Blizzard. He was in command of the 5th Reserve North Staffs, from its formation in 1915 until 1919, when the Battalion was disbanded.

During this period he received many letters and documents from officers and men, and these have been the chief materials for this history.

On July 23rd, 1918, a meeting of relatives of officers and others, under the presidency of Alderman Goddard, Deputy-Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, was held at Stoke, at which Colonel Blizzard was present; and it was decided that a history should be written.
