Mersey to mud - war and Liverpool men Like many large cities,
Liverpool raised a number of battalions in the Great War. Notable
among them were the Pals, the Liverpool Irish and Scottish, but
this book concerns the wartime history of the 9th Battalion - The
Kings. Originally formed in 1859 for volunteers from the Liverpool
newspaper and print industries, it was, by the outbreak of World
War 1, an experienced part of the Territorial Force, but no
previous experience could prepare the battalion for war on the
Western Front. Once in the line, the exacting toll of modern
warfare caused immediate casualties, including the commanding
officer invalided home and another quickly killed in action. The
King's endured gruelling life and death in the trenches to the full
measure. In the course of the war the battalion fought at Aubers
Ridge, Loos, the Somme, Third Ypres, Cambrai and Arras. This moving
history of the battalion is essential reading for military students
and genealogists since it includes a substantial Decoration Roll.
