sw63 Posted 22 June , 2011 Share Posted 22 June , 2011 Hi, Can anyone please tell me which units wore the brass shoulder title "LIVERPOOL" and when it was worn?. Also, does anyone know when the 8th (Irish) King's shoulder title changed from "8/IRISH/LIVERPOOL" to "8/IRISH/KINGS" Many thanks, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 22 June , 2011 Share Posted 22 June , 2011 It might be a St Johns Ambulance shoulder title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 22 June , 2011 Share Posted 22 June , 2011 The curved 'Liverpool' S/T was worn upto 1902 by the regular battalions. Not sure that '8/Irish/Liverpool ever existed but 'T/8/Irish/King's' was worn post 1908 prior to this the battalion wore '5/Irish/V/King's' Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbrydon Posted 22 June , 2011 Share Posted 22 June , 2011 Jon is right according to the Kingsman magazine of 1930 the title "Liverpool" was worn in the South African war at the same time as the title "Lpool R" was worn. The 8th Irish Battalion wore the title T/8/Irish/Kings although I do have an example of T/8/Irish/ Liverpool which is probably a one off,it is certainly the only example I have ever seen. P.B.
