The King's (Liverpool) Regiment.
Two photographs possibly taken at Arras. The soldier at top right in the group photograph is the man in the single photograph.

Checked my old Penguins "A Dictionary of Historical Slang".
Knut, k-nut. (The K- pronounced.) A very stylish (young) man about town; a dandy: from ca 1905. Prob. NUT orig. = head and knut has perhaps been influenced by KNOB. See also FILBERT. B'hoys also crops up on some WWI era photos and postcards. B'hoys. 'A town rowdy; a gay fellow'' Thornton: ex U.S. (1846), anglicised - almost wholly in the latter sense - ca 1865, Ex Irish pronounciation. |
