Summary "The History of the Prince of Wales' Own Civil Service Rifles" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the early 20th century, particularly after World War I. This work chronicles the formation and evolution of the Civil Service Rifles, detailing the regiment's extensive history from its origins in the late 19th century, through its pivotal roles during various military engagements, including the Great War. The text likely emphasizes the pride, dedication, and experiences of the individuals who served in this regiment, capturing the unique identity fostered among civil servants in a military context. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the background behind the creation of the Civil Service Rifles, noting the historical context that prompted its formation amidst fears of conflict and public unrest. It outlines the regiment's early organizational challenges, including initial government hesitations and the eventual consolidation of different corps into a united battalion. The narrative is enriched by references to the individuals involved in its development, from commanding officers to enthusiastic recruits, and it highlights contributions from various social strata within the Civil Service, reflecting on their shared commitment to serving the nation in times of need.
