daggers Posted 6 November , 2008 Share Posted 6 November , 2008 The WW1 Roll of Honour, on panels within Liverpool's Town Hall, has been digitised and will be put online on 11 November 2008, after a formal launch by the Lord Mayor. Until now there has been no copy of the Roll which contains over 13,000 names, with rank, initials and regiment/corps/ship etc. Some entries show battalion etc, others do not. A majority of entries relate, quite naturally, to the King's Liverpool Regiment, but many others appear in the lists. By the nature of the exercise of transcription, the online roll is likely to carry forward many errors and duplications which have been discovered over the past few months, but it should be in fully alphabetical order, which the panels are not. It is hoped that editing of the errors will be possible, once the system is up and running. I shall post details of access here after the launch.

bruce Posted 6 November , 2008 Share Posted 6 November , 2008 Yippee!!! You are to be congratulated on the completion of so monumental a piece of work, which will be of considerable aid to those of us delving into Liverpool casualties. This must have taken ages, and I am waiting with baited breath to get at it. Well done! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggers Posted 6 November , 2008 Author Share Posted 6 November , 2008 Nice to have the plaudits, but the work of photographing, then transcribing, must be credited to Town Hall/civic staff. I merely applied a [gentle] spur. I can look in the version I have if you let me have names you are interested in. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Nulty Posted 6 November , 2008 Share Posted 6 November , 2008 Don't belittle the part you've played in getting this delivered.

gillchadwick Posted 6 November , 2008 Share Posted 6 November , 2008 Very well done Richard, I will look forward to finding my Uncle's name. I haven't been able to find him in the past due to the fact that the panels are not in alphabetical order. Because of your hard work, including that on St Margaret's School Roll of honour, you have ensured that the men of Liverpool will not be forgotten Thank you Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggers Posted 7 November , 2008 Author Share Posted 7 November , 2008 Gill I have a version of the soon-to-be-launched database, so could look for your uncle's name if you post it with initials, rank and unit if known, here or via PM. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillchadwick Posted 8 November , 2008 Share Posted 8 November , 2008 Thank you Richard, Lance Corporal Harold Leyland Waterworth 1/5th Battalion, King's Liverpool. K.I.A. 31st July 1917 aged 22 yrs. I am off to Ypres Monday morning, on Tuesday I will be thinking of all the Liverpool lads who didn't return home, those who did and whose lives were changed for ever. Their families , like my Grandparents who never had the opportunity to see their son's name on the Menin Gate. Not forgetting my Dad, who served with the King's Liverpool during WW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted 8 November , 2008 Share Posted 8 November , 2008 The latest prescription didn't fix it then, Bruce? Strangely not, Ken. I took your advice......ten pints of Kwak a day for a month.....but it still hasn't had the expected effect. I am now bankrupt, can't walk straight and my sight is going.....but I still have the original bug. Mind you, I should have anticipated that, since it obviously didn't work with you on the seven, or is it now eight, times you tried that cure!
