My Grandfather, from Everton, served in the Liverpool Scottish and after 2 years at the front was badly injured at Passchendaele and was sent home for good by Dr Chavasse. A decision that probably saved his life. We still toast him every year.

I wouldn't have said they served their 'adopted' country, since the family was English by this point and had married into English families since the 1700s, but certainly he was an adopted son of Liverpool.

Thank you for highlighting the story of the incredibly brave, selfless Capt Noel Chavasse VC & Bar. He is an inspirational figure, and was revered in the Liverpool Scottish Regt. In 1998, I was privileged enough as a member of V Coy The Liverpool Scottish, to be directly involved in the unveiling ceremony of the dedicated memorial to Capt Chavasse in Belgium. We also visited his grave at Brandhoek. His nephew, Edgar Chavasse accompanied our party and he gave a speech about his uncle. It seems bravery runs in the family, Edgar was a member of SOE during WW2 and he operated covertly in Yugoslavia with the partisans. Liverpool Scottish has an illustrious history, dating back to the Boer war. During WW1, it deployed to France shortly after London Scottish- the first Territorial unit to do so. LS quickly earned a superb reputation, which resulted in Brigade commanders regularly arguing over command of the regt. Actor Basil Rathbone aka Sherlock Holmes served as a Captain in LS, we won the MC for bravery. He commanded a Recce Plt tasked with the immensely dangerous job of crawling across no-mans land in order to eavesdrop on German trenches to gather intel. Occasionally, Rathbone and his men were required to raid German trenches in order to snatch a couple of prisoners, who would be dragged back to British lines for intel gathering purposes. Trafford Leigh-Mallory, brother of Mallory who died on Everest, also served in LS as a private in the earlier years of WW1. He subsequently joined the RFC, and continued his service with the RAF. Leigh-Mallory commanded No 12 Group, RAF Fighter Command during the Battle Of Britain. During WW2, Liverpool Scottish was utilised as a training regiment, one of the three LS battalions changed role and became a Royal Artillery unit. Many of the soldiers who passed through LS went directly to the elite units of the British Army- including the LRDG, Commando's, Para Regt and the SAS. No other British Army regular, or Territorial unit provided more men for the elite units than Liverpool Scottish did- which speaks volumes about the calibre the unit. The last time British soldiers fought in battle in the kilt occurred during the St. Nazaire dry dock raid- referred to as, 'The Greatest Raid Of All.' Those men wore the Liverpool Scottish Forbes tartan- they were No 5 Troop, 2 Commando The Liverpool Scottish. I recall in the late 90's on Remembrance Day parades, we had WW2 SAS veteran's parading with the LS Regimental Association. Did they wear the sand coloured beret of The Regt? No- they all wore the Glengarry and blue hackle with the LS capbadge and the Forbes tartan kilt. Which speaks volumes about the esprit de corps associated with Liverpool Scottish- *ONCE A LIVERPOOL JOCK- ALWAYS A LIVERPOOL JOCK.* There is something extremely special about a regiment which bears the name of the city it heralds from- especially a GREAT city with a tremendous depth of history like Liverpool. Every year on Remembrance Day, the Para Regt Association form up and participate in the dedicated service of Remembrance for Liverpool Scottish in the gardens at the rear of St. George's Hall. It says a lot when elite Para's want to show their respect for another unit, and it's very much appreciated. *It was a GREAT privilege to serve in Liverpool Scottish*- the only other Territorial unit with a similar illustrious history and esprit de corps was London Scottish. The latter has recently laid up it's colours and re-badged to become a reserve Coy of the Scots Guards.

@@TheHistoryChap You are very welcome indeed! Liverpool Scottish was a very interesting regiment, in the very early years, recruits had to have Scottish heritage, they also paid to join the regt! It was a very middle class regt, with many professional people within it's ranks. There are a number of books available via the Liverpool Scottish website, including an excellent history of it's WW1 experiences written by A.M McGilchrist, who served as an officer during WW1. His book is entitled, 'The Liverpool Scottish 1900-1919.' There is also a superb book written by Dennis Reeves, which details the involvement of Liverpool Scots in the various elite British formations during WW2. Brigadier C. E. Lucas refers regularly to the Liverpool Scottish Commando's in his superb book about St. Nazaire, 'The Greatest Raid Of All.' Essential reading! Bit of trivia for you, if you watch the credits at the end of, 'Last Of The Virgin Soldiers,' one of the images portrays a WW1 Liverpool Scot- Pte Donald Henderson- he's wearing his diced Glengarry, keep you eyes peeled for him! :)

Thanks for your firsthand on the LS. I am retired U.S. Army. I served with a unit for 5 years and three combat deployments. That type of time allows a soldier to not only learn and marvel, but to take the unit's history in a prideful manner that is often hard to convey to a civilian. Soldiers have and do die willingly on battlefields to uphold their units' reputation and honor. GBU

What an incredible story of bravery, honor and devotion to his fellow soldiers especially the wounded. The chutzpah it must have taken to crawl out in no man's land to rescue wounded soldiers. Then to be found washing the stretcher bearers socks shows true humility when awarded the nation's highest honor for bravery. I was moved by this story not just of Noel but the entire family, wow is all I can say and it fails to encapsulate the emotions I am conveying, I salute each and every member who sacrificed for King and country ❤️ 💙 🙏 👏
