CROONAERT Posted 4 September , 2005 Share Posted 4 September , 2005 Just the official name of the Regiment, Steve. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Which stems from the regimental motto - Loyaute M'Oblige (My Loyalty Compels me). This motto is carried on into the present day QLR - Loyally I Serve. They became simply "The Loyal Regiment (N.Lancashire)" in 1920 - an (almost) unique title (another "Loyal regiment" existed in the Indian Army). Dave.

John_Hartley Posted 4 September , 2005 Share Posted 4 September , 2005 Dave I just knew you'd have the full SP. I'd wondered if there had been something dating back to, perhaps, Civil War times. But, as often, the truth is much more straight forward. BTW, the Museum & Archive @ Fulwood is currently closed. They are having a lift put in. Expected to be open at beginning of next month, when I shall be hammering on their door for my next research batch. Closed again in November for re-decoration, apparently.

Matthew B. Posted 26 September , 2005 Share Posted 26 September , 2005 Steve, The reason for this is that two soldiers are interred in the same grave. Matthew B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
