1/4th Battalion, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

1/4th Battalion (pronounced "first fourth") was an army reserve battalion within the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and part of the Territorial Force.

History
The battalion was originally created as the 4th Battalion, a voluntary reserve battalion representing people from Normanton, Wakefield and Ossett.

When war was declared in August 1914, 4th Battalion was split in two. 1/4th represented territorials who had agreed to serve overseas.

1/4th reached Europe at Boulogne on 12 April 1915 and was ordered to reach the area around Ypres.
