My Great Grandfather fought with the Kings Liverpool Regiment and left a leg back in France. I’ve also recently discovered that one of my great uncles fought and died with the East Lancs. and another died of his wound in 1922 after fighting with one of the Yorkshire Regiments. A number of distant relatives i.e. brothers of my great Grandmother also give their lot with the Pals.

I missed the dedication of the memorial the other year, but I hope to be there on the day of the Procession. Despite my earlier knock of HBC this is a day for all those with the wish, will and want to honour those men to be together and do so.
