"The origins of the Tyneside Scottish are in the Kitchener's Army and the call to arms in the First World War . The Recruitment to the British Army during the First World War saw the raising of the Pals battalion . The Tyneside Scottish Committee was formed and raised four service Battalions of the Northumberland Fusiliers . These were the 20th (Service) Battalion (1st Tyneside Scottish), 21st (Service) Battalion (2nd Tyneside Scottish), 22nd (Service) Battalion (3rd Tyneside Scottish) and 23rd (Service) Battalion (4th Tyneside Scottish). They formed the 102nd (Tyneside Scottish) Brigade , part of the 34th Division . The 29th (Reserve) Battalion and the 33rd (Reserve) Battalion were formed from the depot companies of the Tyneside Scottish battalions.

The Brigade's first major action was the Battle of the Somme where it sustained a large number of casualties. The Brigade was subsequently brought up to strength and served at Armentiers, Battle of Arras , and the final battles of 1918. The Brigade was disbanded in 1918."

"The 1st battalion moved from its initial location in Newcastle City centre to billets in the grounds of Alnwick castle on 29th January where it would stay for most of 1915 while training took place. The battalion would not arrive in France until January 1916. Much weeding out of unfit or unsuitable recruits took place. Although the official battalion strength was 1,100 men plus 250 for the depot company, numbered sequentially from sergeant Mooney at 20/1 the highest number traced so far is 20/1719 Private James Weatherhead .

The Tyneside Scottish camp was at Alnwick, North Northumberland. Here the daily routine was route marches and drill.

The battalion embarked for France in January 1916 where a period of 'Trench Hardening' took place with numbers of men being gradually introduced into the front line before the battalion as a whole would take a section of the front line.

By the end of June the battalion would find itself near the Town of Albert to the North of a small village called La Boisselle. It was here that the battalion would take part in the beginning of what became known as the battle of the Somme.

The battalion would serve with distinction again in 1917 at the battle of Arras and would eventually be disbanded in France on the 3rd February 1918. "

"The 1st – 4th Tyneside Scottish Battalions were Pals battalions raised in Newcastle by the Lord Mayor and City on 14 October (1st), 26 September (2nd), 5 November (3rd) and 16 November 1914 (4th). In March 1915 they moved to Alnwick and together they formed 102nd (Tyneside Scottish) Brigade, 34th Division in June 1915. They were taken over by the War Office on 15 August 1915, moved to Salisbury Plain at the end of the month and crossed to France in January 1916. Due to extremely heavy casualties suffered during the attack at La Boiselle on 1 July 1916, the Brigade was attached to the 37th Division between 6 July and 22 August 1916 in exchange for 111th Brigade.

British divisions on the Western Front were reduced from a 12-battalion to a 9-battalion basis in February 1918 (brigades from four to three battalions): the 20th and 21st Battalions were disbanded on 3 February and the 25th Battalion joined from the 103rd (Tyneside Irish) Brigade on the same date. As a result of the losses suffered in the Ludendorf Offensive (First Battle of the Somme and Battle of the Lys), 102nd Brigade had to be extensively reorganized. On 16 May 1918, the 23rd Battalion was reduced to cadre and transferred to Lines of Communication duties; it joined 116th Brigade, 39th Division on 17 June, to 66th Division on 16 August and to 197th Brigade on 20 September where it remained for the rest of the war. The 22nd Battalion was likewise reduced to cadre on 17 May; it returned to England on 18 June with 16th Division. It absorbed the new 38th Battalion at Margate and was posted to 48th Brigade, 16th Division at Aldershot. It returned to France in July where it remained for the rest of the war. The 22nd Battalion was disbanded on 14 June 1919 at Catterick, and the 23rd Battalion in June 1919 in France.

While part of the 34th Division, the Tyneside Scottish took part in the following major actions:

Battle of the Somme (1916) (Battle of Albert only)

Battle of Arras (1917)

Third Battle of Ypres

First Battle of the Somme (1918)

Battle of the Lys (1918)"
