Photos of Liverpool Kings Regiment WW1
« on: Sunday 13 February 11 21:34 GMT (UK) »
Hi my grandfather was in the Liverpool Kings Regiment during WW1.  No photo has survived of my grandfather but I have found his service card. This tells me he was in France, with details below.  Can anyone help with this.  It would be a long shot.  But I'm wondering if anyone has any photos of this regiment.  I don't know what he looked like as he died in 1924 from a heart condition, which was accelerated after being gassed in the trenches. But I might be able to see a resemblance in him to one of his 5 young children he left behind.

Date of entry 1-5-1915. 
Liverpool R Pte. 10912
Lab Corps. Pte. 410298

Next to Victoria- Under Roll it says: LC/101 B148. Page 15010
Next to British - 'do'   Page 'do'
Under Medals it says:  Star. 15.  LC/ 8c Page W/100/3

Theatre of War:  (1) France

Under Remarks:  Class Z.   9-4-19.



Thank you

Hi,  I meant to post this on the message board not as a poll, sorry. I'm not sure what a poll is!  But I've posted this message where I intended it to go.  So can this post be deleted ?  I've included a name on the other post

Thank you

Thank you... this entire thread can be deleted.  I'm sure they'll be away for me to do it myself, but not very good at this.

Hello Harry2`sgirl. my dad was in The king`s Liverpool Regt.during the First World War. there were 49 Battalions. I don`t think your G/faher and my dad would be in the same one . Dad joined in 1916 when  he was 18 years old. Went to France in Feb 1917, was wounded, taken prisoner and repatriated in 1919.

In 1958 the Regiment amalgamated with The Manchester Regiment and became the presnt day King`s Regiment.To get info about him you must apply to:-
RHQ KINGS (1)
ARDWICK GREEN.
MANCHESTER.  M12 6HD
I have a photo, but it is unlikely your chap is on it given the different dates etc. It is about half a mile long!!!
There was fierce fighting at a place called Hoogh near to Ypres where the King`s Liverpools showed great courage and valour. There is a memorial nearby.   Hope this is of help.                                                              Viktoria.

Hi H2C

That number was used by a number of KLR battalions, and none of them appear to have entered France in May 1915. But the post card is the key. It gives his battalion as the 4th. They were pre-war Special Reservists (ie part-timers) who became full-time at the start of WW1. They went to France in March 1915, so he was a later replacement.

I can tell you that 10387 was issued in the 3rd/4th Battalions in August 1913, so 10912 have been issued near the start of WW1. It may even have been issued before WW1 started.

Their uniform was very similar to most of the other battalions. Only the shoulder titles were different. So search for Liverpool Regiment or KLR and you will find something. You should ignore the Rifles (6th Battalion), Liverpool Irish (8th), Liverpool Scottish (10th) and the Liverpool Pals (17th to 20th Battalions).
