Help Researching a WW1 POW, 1st Bn Royal Liverpool
Hoping that the power (and collective wisdom) of the forum can help me find some more details on a chap. I have one document relating to the chap in question who is;L/Cpl Thomas James Welsh (242026) from the 1st Bn Royal Liverpool Regiment.
Any thing about his service history and/or his time as a POW would be gratefully received. Many thanks Dave |

Hi Dave,
RL Regt is most likely 'Kings Own' - Royal Lancaster Regt, the 'Kings' Liverpool Regt did not have the Royal prefix despite being a Royal Regiment Paul Last edited by Paul Spellman; 02-10-17 at 06:57 PM. |

Hi Paul,
Thanks - that's a great step in the right direction, not my usual area of concern so not sure about any of the abbreviations /notations. Best wishes Dave |

Sorry Paul, but it the King's (Liverpool) Regiment. Given his 6 figure service number he probably originally enlisted in the 1/6th battalion as did the two others on the same page.
