matteyre Posted 7 January , 2009 Share Posted 7 January , 2009 On a memorial in our local church a unit is down as KL. What would this be, as I guessed it might be Lancers as opposed to Light Infantry, but not come up with anything definitive, thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay dubaya Posted 7 January , 2009 Share Posted 7 January , 2009 I'd agree with Jim and say King's Liverpool, but another possible could be King's Lancaster, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian turner Posted 7 January , 2009 Share Posted 7 January , 2009 Are the KL initials against any particular names? Could check them out if they are connected? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Riley Posted 7 January , 2009 Share Posted 7 January , 2009 Can you give us a name? The King's Liverpool Regiment is normally seen as L'Pool Regt or KLR if not as The King's or the Liverpool Regiment but also seems to be referred to at the King's Liverpools Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Clifton Posted 7 January , 2009 Share Posted 7 January , 2009 Liverpool is more likely than Lancaster which would be KO for Kings Own. There was a King's Hussars but no King's Lancers. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
