Described by its author as 'a labour of love' this is an history of the 9th Territorial Battalion of the King's (Liverpool Regiment.) First raised in 1859, the Battalion embarked for France to fill holes torn in the Regular Army in 1914: they sustained their first casualties at Neuve Chapelle the following month. Thereafter the Battalion was in action at Aubers Ridge, Loos, the Somme, and Passchendaele. The text is accompanied by a list of Battalion Honours and awards.
