From Border Regiment Wiki

This wiki project intends to bring together a variety of newspaper articles of the Border Regiment and pay a fitting tribute to the men for the horrors they had to endure and to those who lost their lives.

It is unclear how much was written about the Border Regiment during the war, suffice to say the press would have been eager to keep the local population informed of overseas action.

A great deal can be learned from reading articles related to the Border Regiment, especially if coming across uncharted territory. Throughout the First World War across the nation, local and national newspapers were buzzing with stories from the front line, giving the people back home a sometimes detailed understanding of what was happening to our men overseas. On many occasions the news was less desireable but there were times of celebration, all be it if only for short periods of time. The nation mourned the loss of so many men in what many called a needless slaughter, and for small towns and villages the loss of a generation of men was more apparent as time went on.
