About the book >.>.> Almost precisely coinciding with the commencement of the preparation for this book the Government decided – as part of its Territorial Army ‘cut-backs – to close down and sell off Forbes House barracks the then home of the Liverpool Scottish and the site of its regimental museum. As a consequence of this untimely decision the entire contents of the museum – exhibits artifacts and archives – were packed up and screwed down! The author would like to place on record his appreciation of the efforts of his collaborators in this enterprise Major David Evans TD and Dennis Reeves the Museum’s Hon Secretary and Curator respectively who despite this inhibiting set-back and despite personal and family health problems managed to make available many of the photographs and much of the archival material in the Museum’s collections. These two gentlemen have for many years and without any form of official recognition for their outstanding services maintained and enlarged a fine and in many respects unique. archive for a single battalion of a larger regiment. Happily the Liverpool Scottish Museum is soon to be re-located in Botanic Road Liverpool. A visit is highly recommended! The Museum’s photographs with those from the authors’s own extensive collection and others provided by the families and friends of the men of the Liverpool Scottish who fought and died in the Great War are intended to stand as a small tribute to the undying memory of a very special generation.
