pgardiner1418 Posted 15 March , 2010 Share Posted 15 March , 2010 Yesterday saw the launch of a new Web site dedicated to the King’s (Liverpool) Regiment. It is intended that the site will serve as a Roll of Honour for all the Battalions of the Regiment who served in the Great War with the Territorials being dealt with first starting with the 7th Battalion. Any comments criticism or suggested additions would be most welcome. The site is being developed by Joe Devereux (Promenade), I have been helping on the 7th battalion content. The site has the blessing of both the Duke of Lancaster Regiment and the Museum of Liverpool. The site can be accessed at www.liverpoolregt.co.uk All the best Joe & Paul.

John_Hartley Posted 15 March , 2010 Share Posted 15 March , 2010 Nice bit of work, chaps. Like the way you've brought the war diary and regimental history together. One stop shop, and all that. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgardiner1418 Posted 15 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 15 March , 2010 All, Thank you for your encouraging comments thus far. The transcription of the War Diary I undertook myself from the originals and not from a “typed up copy” this I hope will iron out any mistakes that may have occurred previously. Joe had the idea to link the various elements together to form a more comprehensive narrative. Later this year I intend to undertake another “Photo Shoot” on the Western Front and try to fill the gaps in memorial pictures which will round off the 7th Battalion. Thanks again to everyone who has posted, Joe & Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard_Lewis Posted 16 March , 2010 Share Posted 16 March , 2010 I am led to believe that Richard Williams was a Kings Liverpool man.

shaun_gillespie Posted 17 March , 2010 Share Posted 17 March , 2010 Hi, the photo on the bottom of the website page is brilliant, does anyone know who they are? One looks like my Gt Uncle John Edmund Fenn, 1st/8th Liverpool Irish but that is probably wishfull thinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promenade Posted 17 March , 2010 Share Posted 17 March , 2010 All, Firstly many thanks for the kind comments about the King's web site which owing to my lack of design skills is hopefully an example of substance triumphing over style! Shaun, The photo at the bottom of the page is of a group of unidentified Kingsmen who were previously employed by Cunard. If you revisit my site and click on ad hoc entries you will find an entry for Lt Fenn and you will see that it is unlikely that one of the men in the Cunard photo is your great uncle. If you have more information on Lt Fenn or have a better photo you are willing to share I will be pleased to hear from you. Regards Joe Devereux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun_gillespie Posted 17 March , 2010 Share Posted 17 March , 2010 Oh my God Joe, thanks so much! I never thought I would see a photo of my Gt Uncle Jack again after my Grans pic disappeared. I was going to go to Liverpool tomorrow (Thursday) to see if I could see any trace of him in the war diaries, but would I be wasting my time? That is the only adult pic of Jack I have ever seen and feared I never would again. The cutting I saw years ago was from local paper from the time and said about the MC, and had that photo of yours with it of him in the paper, my memory is that my Gt Gran Annie Hughes was given the actual medal in a ceremony in Manchester? The cutting said he was involved in an attack on a machine gun nest at a farm, I am sure it the words Lys and Wieltje where mentioned. I am not sure though if that was where he died or how he got the MC? I think it is likely how he got the MC in 1917. I have the 1911 census for Jubilee Drive and it has all the family on except Jack, so now I know where he was! Thanks again Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louvain Posted 17 March , 2010 Share Posted 17 March , 2010 A stunning piece of work. Lovely to see William and James Ellison both remembered - so glad you could use the photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
