That would be the 3rd Battalion of the Kings Liverpool Regiment which is certainly interesting as it was, from memory at least, a reserve battalion in Great Britain, I think the 4th was too, but, it also went out to India as well as France.

R.” From my limited research I gather this was the Kings Regiment (Liverpool) but any help to identify the battalion or any other information would be greatly appreciated. For example does the R at the end mean “reserve” or “Retired”?
Any other advice on how to find out more about the medal would be very much appreciated. Thanks
