WITH the outbreak of war in August 1914 life in Leicester was to change irrevocably. The huge demands to provide men to fight on the Western Front, combined with the need for an increased industrial output, led to great conflicts of interest.

An energetic anti-war campaign mounted by one of the Borough’s two Members of Parliament, Ramsay MacDonald, led to serious criticism, both during and after the war, of Leicester’s commitment to the war effort.

It tells the story of food and fuel shortages, the raising and training of local units to send to the Front, of the town being cut off in violent snow storms along with a myriad of other happenings during the greatest social upheaval of the 20th century.

This fascinating story takes the reader on a unique journey beginning in 1914 with the initial call to arms for the men of Leicester to join the Colours, through to the pageantry of the town being granted city status in 1919.

Size: Large Size 3, Color: World Cup
I have a medium size dog 25lbs. The tabs all came off within 4 days & deflated/punctured in the same amount of time this ball is not as sturdy as they say.

Quality product but sold on Amazon cheaper with different seller.
Size: Medium Size 2, Color: White-Blue
The size is the reason for the missing star. Made of good quality but found cheaper from another buyer. My 9month Cane Corso hasn't destroyed it yet and enjoys playing keep away with the other dogs.

absolutely must buy perfect for dogs. I have a large black lab and he has had so much fun with us.
Size: Large Size 3, Color: White-Blue
I have to say that my dog would be considered an aggressive tower. However, this ball has stayed intact. I love that it comes with the pump. It’s extremely functional very soft for catching can be cleaned. Very easy easy the quality is exceptional. Very functional does have a bounce. I can say he has had so much fun with this since it’s getting it for his birthday on 11/11 I highly recommend this product and would definitely buy again.

Perfect for keep-away
Size: Large Size 3, Color: Red-Blue
I purchased one of these for my pup and he has a ball throwing it up in the air and chasing it. Handy for something they can play with alone.

70lb dog loves this kind of ball!
This is my dog's favorite style of ball! I have purchased others before, first from a local farm supply store and then others from Amazon, and this ball is of comparable quality to the others! The multi-tag design is great for my dog who love to tug and also to throw toys for himself. It's still inflated for now, but I'm under no pretense that it will stay that way forever. Part of the enjoyment my dog gets from his toys is in their destruction, and while we haven't hit that phase yet I'm sure it will come. This ball is great for medium to large-ish dogs who enjoy a ball that is kicked, thrown, or tugged!
