The King's (Liverpool Regiment) (d.27th Aug 1915) The sad loss of my Grandfather’s only son. Like many of his friends and other Liverpool youngsters at that time; they enlisted enthusiastically and like Alfred, many were under age. For Alfred it would result in a life cut so tragically short when he was killed in Action at just 17 years of age. Alfred Herbert Jardine was born in Wavertree, Liverpool on the 5th July 1898, the only son of Alfred Jardine & Lucy Emily Jardine nee Herbert. He lived with his parents & three sisters Dorothy, Winifred & Elsie (the second eldest sister being my mother Winifred Lucy Bancroft nee Jardine,) at 77 Alderson Road, Wavertree, Liverpool. I have always had an interest in Family History and I have a number of Memorabilia items for my uncle Alfred that relate to his short life. One of these being a copy of an essay written by Alfred at his school- Lawrence Road, Wavertree in 1912 entitled ‘My Life’. A fascinating innocent window of his life, his hobbies and pleasures. I also have several sketches he did, one of these being a picture dated June 1914 of the liner ‘Empress Of Ireland’ that sank in the Saint Lawrence River following a collision with the Norwegian collier SS Storstad in the early hours of 29 May 1914. By a strange coincidence my Wife’s Great Uncle George Oswald Willis was a Smoke Room Steward and one of the fatalities of the accident which claimed the lives of 1,012 (840 passengers, 172 crew) It is hard to believe that such a happy childhood would be brutally interrupted in 1914 and have a devastating impact for him and his family the following year in 1915 when he was killed in action. He enlisted in Liverpool with the 9th Battalion, The King’s (Liverpool Regiment) Private 2603 on the 29th September 1914 giving his age as 18 years 2 months. My Mother told me that on hearing from Alfred that he had enlisted, her Father went to the recruiting office to try and get the papers cancelled because his son was under age. This was refused as the official papers had been signed. So began Alfred’s short but brave military career. He was stationed at home in the UK 29th September 1914 to 11th March 1915. Embarked at Southampton for France 12th March 1915. From his arrival in France till his death he would be engaged in a number of actions with his battalion. Family story has been passed to the present generation that Alfred was shot by an enemy sniper after leaving his trench to collect firewood. To date I have not found any evidence for this or what action he might have taken part in. From his British Army WWI Service Records, 1914-1920 I do know, that he died on the 27th August 1915 of wounds received in action on 26th August 1915 in Vermelles situated 6 miles south east of Béthune, Pas de Calais, France and he is buried at Chocques Military Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France. I still have the dreadful telegram dated 7th September 1915 ..”It is my painful duty to inform you that a report has this day been received from the War Office notifying the death of…………..” that my Dear Grandfather had to open on that tragic day, like so many other families would have to endure. In fact, two years later in 1917, my paternal Grandfather would receive the same painful telegram to report the death of my second uncle to die in the Great War - Thomas Wright Bancroft. They are truly 'not forgotten' and I have had the honour to visit their War Graves on two occasions and pay our family respects for their sacrifice. s flynn Add to this record.   Pte.

Bradley 9th Btn. King's Liverpool Regiment (d.6th October 1918) Private Bradley died at 29 Casualty Clearing Station on 6th October 1918. He is buried in Grevillers British Cemetery, Grave XVI.C.5. Add to this record.   L/Cpl. William Ellison 1/9th Btn. King's Liverpool Regiment (d.31st July 1917) In memory of my Uncle William, may God rest his soul, who died in action at Passchaendale on the 31st July 1917 at the age of 20. Born in late 1896 into abject poverty, William Ellison was raised in social deprivation like so many of his day, he answered the call to defend his King and Country and protect their way of life. He arrived in France on 12th March 1915 thus earning the 14-15 ‘Star’. Very little is known of his war with him being an “other rank”, but he was obviously lucky enough to survive until his unit was sent to fight the 3rd Battle of Ypres aka Passchaendale in July 1917. He is assumed to have been killed during that opening day of one of the worst battles of WW1. Initially reported wounded, later announced as wounded and missing and eventually being listed as killed in action. His body was never found and identified properly although his contribution is recognised at the Menin Gate memorial in Ypres. The 1/9th Batt'n War Diary reported at the time that they consisted of 16 officers and 566 “other ranks” going into the battle, 44 men were killed,193 wounded and 229 were missing, not including Officers (one of whom had to leave the trenches on day 2 because of his rheumatism?). By the time his medals were struck and sent to his home, his mother and most siblings had died of Spanish Flu and the rest of the family had dispersed to various workhouses. Therefore, his medals, commemorative plaque etc were never delivered and consequently returned and destroyed. To add insult to injury his service records were completely destroyed (burnt series) during WW2, and his birth would appear never to have been registered so he apparently has never existed and there are no known documents or photographs existing within my family to confirm him. RIP Uncle Bill, I am proud to have had you as my kin and I will do my best to make certain you shall never be forgotten. Vic Add to this record.   Pte. Joseph Brennan 1st/9th Btn. King's (Liverpool) Regiment (d.15th July 1916) Joseph Brennan was executed for desertion on 16th July 1916 and is buried in the Barly French Military Cemetery in Pas-de-Calais, France. Joseph served as a Private with the 8th (Irish) Battalion of the King’s Liverpool Regiment. The barracks were in Shaw Street, Liverpool. It is not known when Joseph enlisted with the King’s Liverpool Regiment. At this time men volunteered to enlist, they were not yet conscripted. Perhaps Joseph wanted a new life and new opportunities or he may have felt it was important to fight for his adopted country. What is known it that the Irish Battalion spent time training in England before being sent to France in 1915. In June of that year Joseph would have seen action supporting French troops in Artois, which had previously suffered heavy casualties. The Battalion came under fire and had to retreat, with many killed and wounded. In Spring 1916 Joseph would have again been involved in trench warfare and operations. The Battalion were rested before moving to the Somme. We now know what conditions were like in the trenches and what horrors Joesph may have seen, including many comrades killed or wounded. It is easy to see that morale would be low amongst the ranks. s flynn Add to this record. Recomended Reading. Available at discounted prices.
