Text for the above items :

King's Liverpool Regiment (8th foot) by Richard Simkin (P)

From the supplement of the Army and Navy Gazette, December 5th 1895.


Lance Corporal tombs dragging back a severely wounded man by means of a rifle sling placed round his own neck and the mans body.

Seeing wounded men lying about one hundred yards in front of the British trenches at Rue du Bois, on June 16th 1915, Lance Corporal Joseph tombs, of the 1st Battalion, The Kings (Liverpool Regiment) crawled out repeatedly under a very heavy shell and machine gun fire to rescue them. He brought back four men. One of them was so severely wounded that unless he had been immediately attended to he must have died. Lance Corporal tombs therefore placed a rifle sling round his own neck and round the mans body, and in this way dragged him back to the trenches. He was awarded the V.C. for most conspicuous gallantry.


Private T. Doswell Rescuing An Officer From A Mine In Which He Lay Unconscious.

When Private T. Doswell, of the 3rd battalion, Liverpool Regiment (attached 1st Battalion), was on duty outside a mine, near Cuinchy, on November 3rd 1915, an officer who was gassed came out of the mine, and said that another officer was lying unconscious inside. Private Doswell immediately went down the mine, followed by another man, who however, turned back at the bottom of the ladder. Private Doswell went on about twenty yards to where he found the officer lying unconscious. Unaided, he dragged him back to the foot of the ladder and helped to carry him up. Afterwards he reported himself suffering from gas poisoning. For his great courage and resource Doswell was awarded the D.C.M.


Sergeant D. Jones Directing The Survivors Of A Platoon After The Officer Had Been Killed.

The platoon to which Sergeant D. Jones of the Liverpool Regiment, belonged was ordered to a forward position, and during the advance came under heavy machine gunfire, the officer being killed and the platoon suffering heavy losses. Sergeant Jones led forward the remainder, occupied the position, and held it for two days and two nights without food or water, until relieved. On the second day he drove back three counter attacks, inflicting heavy losses. It was due entirely to his resource and example that his men retained confidence and held to their post. He was awarded the V.C. for his most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty.


History of the Kings Regiment (Liverpool) 1914 - 1919.

Everard Wyrall.

This is an impressive history by the most prolific author of Great War divisional and regimental histories, a fine tribute to a regiment that contributed 49 battalions to the nations war effort, 26 of them served overseas, including the 2nd Battalion which was in India in August 1914 and remained there throughout the war. It is also a tribute to the author who died in 1933, before he could finish the third volume; the final few chapters were completed by Capt W. Synge of the 1st Battalion. All 23 front line battalions served on the Western Front, one of them (14th) in Salonika as well. The Roll of Honour lists 14,200 dead, six VCs were won, one of them by an officer (Capt O.A.Reid) attached to another regiment, and 58 Battle Honours were awarded. This work is set out in chronological order, each volume dealing with a specific period and ending with the Roll of Honour for that period and citations for any VC. Dates are in the margin and so is the identification of the battalion involved in the action being described. Volume 1 (xiv + 237pp with 10 photos and 8 maps) carries the story from mobilization to the end of 1915, by which time fourteen battalions had joined the Old Contemptibles of the 1st Battalion in the BEF, and one of these had gone on to Salonika. It has a very useful appendix listing every battalion and where it served and when. Volume 2 (vii + 250pp with 8 photos and 8 maps) takes the narrative through 1916 to 30 June 1917 and the Arras offensive; the final volume (vii + 370pp with two photos and 5 maps) completes the story beginning with Third Ypres and ending with a very brief chapter on the 2nd Battalion in India. As it may be imagined, there is plenty of detail in a history so generous with space as this, with its three volumes, and the narrative is supported with clear maps.
