Footnote: R. Narracott served with the Liverpool Regiment during the first war. He was demobilized at the end of the war, and returned home in April 1919. 

The King’s (Liverpool Regiment) served with distinction throughout the First World War, fighting in major campaigns on the Western Front, at Gallipoli, and in the Middle East. Its Regular battalions saw heavy action at Ypres, the Somme, and Passchendaele, while the famous Liverpool Pals Battalions suffered severe losses during the Somme offensive of 1916. Other units fought in Egypt and Palestine, contributing to the capture of Jerusalem. By 1918, the regiment had earned a proud record of bravery and sacrifice, reflecting the spirit and endurance of Liverpool’s soldiers.
