8th (service) Battalion Lincolnshire regiment
The 8th (Service) Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment was established on 15 September 1914.
==Initial Training==
The Battalion trained at Grimsby during August 1914, and Halton Park, near Tring later in November 1914. The Battalion moved into billets at Leighton Buzzard for the winter of 1914 (there are a series of photographs of the 8th Lincolns marching through Leighton Buzzard in the Imperial War Museum's photograph collection). They are in khaki uniform as opposed the hated Kitchener blue. Their kit is the old style leather webbing and they carry what appears to be the older long Lee–Enfield rifle.
In the spring of 1915 the Battalion moved to Halton Park Camp, Wendover and miniature rifle practice commenced. After completing the musketry course and a Review by Lord Kitchener, the Battalion moved to Witley Camp North, marching past His Majesty the King and Lord Kitchener, 12 August 1915.
All the Battalion commanders had been in retirement at the outbreak of war. Of the 21st Division in which the 8th Lincolns were attached only 14 officers had any previous experience in the Regular army.
