'The Liverpool Pals' Unveiled by HRH The Earl of Wessex KG GCVO on 31st August 2014 Between August and November 1914 more than 6,000 men and boys, mainly from the business community of Liverpool, answered Lord Derby's call for volunteers to join his "Liverpool Pals" battalions, with some 1050 enlisting at st George's Hall at the very first opportunity on 31st August 1914. Four Battalions, the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th Battalions of the Kings Liverpool Regiment were formed together with two reserve battalions, the 21st and 22nd. Over 2800 men died as Liverpool Pals during the course of the Great War and the campaign in Russia. The remainder returned home, many wounded, to pick up the pieces of their lives. This frieze tells the story of their euphoric inception at St George's Hall; their leaving of Liverpool in 1915; on to France and Flanders and their battlefield experiences of the Western Front; to the subdued homecoming of the survivors. The final scene completes the cycle and shows St George's Hall and the Cenotaph during present day Remembrance commemorations. This memorial is a handsome tribute to the Liverpool Pals - the first Pals Battalions formed and the last to be stood down. May it stand for many years to come as a testimony to the memory of every Liverpool Pal, ensuring they are never forgotten. The Liverpool Pals Memorial Fund would like to thank everybody who helped to place this memorial to these brave men.
