Thank you for this post. A most interesting history. A member of my family was transferred to the 1st Btn RDF from the Notts and Derby Regiment in 1917 to make up for their heavy losses. He was killed on the 24th April 1917 in the Arras area where he is commemorated.

Thoroughly enjoyed your vid. RDF a great Regiment.
Thanks Patrick, it's great to get these stories out there and to have these men remembered. Delighted you enjoyed the video.
