The story of Liverpool's own regiment This book recounts almost 200 years of the early history of one of the oldest regiments of the British Army since it was formed in 1685. In 1751 it was numbered the 8th (Kings) Regiment of Foot and the regiment holds the distinction of being one of only four regiments in the British Army which have been affiliated to a city rather than a county. As a regiment with such a long history the King's Liverpool Regiment served in many campaigns. These include Monmouth's Rebellion, The War in Ireland including the Battle of the Boyne, The War of Spanish Succession...
