About the Author

The Author Laurie Milner was born in London in 1946, although his roots are in Leeds and the North of England. An avid collector of militaria, he joined the staff of the Imperial War Musuem in 1967. In 1984 he joined the Research and Information Office, the Museum 'historical think tank'. In the course of his research into the Leeds Pals, he interviewed surviving members of the battalion, as well as uncovering a mass of unpublished first-hand accounts; he has used this superb material, set against a broader historical background, to provide a narrative of great immediacy and relevance not just to military historians, but also to readers of all ages and background.
