The Bankers Battalion - 26th Royal Fusiliers - Employees of London & Provincial Bank
Remembering the lives of those who worked for the London & Provincial Bank and also served in the 26th Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, known as the "Bankers Battalion". (The London & Provincial Bank amalgamated with the London & South Western Bank at the end of 1917 to form London, Provincial & South Western Bank, which was then acquired by Barclays Bank Ltd in October 1918.) Formed in July 1915, the Bankers Battalion took part in the battles at Flers-Courcelette and Transloy (Somme) in 1916, and in the battles of Messines, Pilckem Ridge and Menin Road in 1917.
