Hi,Maureen re the Loyal North Lancashire regiment and the link to the Kings Liverpool regiment, my father also enlisted in the Loyals 1914. In the battle of the Somme 1916 he was wounded, later evacuated back to England. After convalesening in late 1917 he was recalled back to service with the 17th battalion Kings Liverpool's. After retraining this unit sailed for Russia with other units of the army , initially to stop the German led force's entering the Kola peninsular around Murmansk and Archangel, but later in 1918 to fight the Bolshevik forces. My father was also demobbed 1919, there might be a link. regads Jim Riding ----- Original Message ----- From: <Cephus28@aol.com> To: <ENG-LAN-BOLTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 15, 2006 4:48 PM Subject: [ENG-LAN-BOLTON] 1/12 Loyal North Lancashire. > > Hello. > > Would anybody know if it would be possible for me to find out what happened > to the 1/12 Loyal North Lancs Regiment in the great war. > My Grandfather enlisted on 1st September 1915, his Regiment Number was 6708 > and he was a private.
