    May I believe Wikipedia? 21st West Yorks = The 21st (Service) Battalion (Wool Textile Pioneers)

    The Long Long Trail agrees with your Wikipedia article. It is one of the New Army battalions and probably drew most of its members from the wool textile industry in Yorkshire.

    By the way, I think some of the Wikipedia articles about the various units of the BEF are basically copies of The Long Long Trail website.
