With events and publications of books and articles it is almost impossible to have missed the fact that 2014 is the centenary anniversary of the outbreak of World War One. We can all look forward to a number of years of reflection, commemoration, and review of those events which mark the beginning of the 20th Century. Not to be outdone, the Regiment has also become involved in a number of activities to commemorate the anniversary.

The Regimental family visited Hooge in June 2015 to commemorate the battalion's 'battle' on 16th June 1915. Several 'Liverpool Scottish' coaches travelled to Ypres/Ieper. A report of the event by Mike Gavin can be read HERE.
