Thank you Jim for your reply. I know that my Grandfather was in Egypt at sometime in the great war for I once saw a photograph of him and a group of others beside a pyramid. I don't know where that photograph went to unfortunately. My Father always said that his Father suffered an injury and had shrapnel in his leg for the rest of his life. He was alleged to have received this injury in the Dardanelles. I have never known what the link was between the Loyal North Lancashire and the Kings Liverpool Regt. Perhaps like your Grandfather he was transferred after his injury. The only little bit of extra information I have is on his form Certificate of Employment During the war. (Army form Z.18.) signed by a Major commanding 'A' Co.1st G.B.unit. The object of this certificate was to assist the soldier in obtaining employment on his return to civil life. Bob Thornley has sent me a site to investigate and I will try to make sense of all the this information. Many thanks again for your reply. Maureen
