THE HISTORY OF THE KING'S REGIMENT (LIVERPOOL). Volume I: 1914-1919. Volume II: 1916-1917.

First edition, first printing. Complete in two volumes. Publisher's original quarter dark blue and burgundy cloth, with titles and borders in gilt to the spine, and with royal insignia in gilt to the upper board. Illustrated across both volumes with eighteen black and white plates and sixteen fold-out black and white maps pasted in. Errata slip pasted in to the contents page in Volume II. A very good set, the binding square and firm, the gilt insignia fresh, faded to the spine, and mildly rubbed and bumped to the extremities. Moderate foxing to the fore-edge and a touch of spotting to the bottom edge of the lightly toned text block. Volume I with the ownership signature of Standish Henry Harrison, in black ink on the front free endpaper, the contents are otherwise clean throughout. Brigadier-General Standish Henry Harrison (1853–1953) was a distinguished Irish-born British Army officer. He served in the King's Liverpool Regiment and Royal Munster Fusiliers, commanding battalions and, during WWI, a brigade. He held major commands in Ireland before retiring to County Cork.

A comprehensive regimental history of one of the oldest line infantry regiments of the British Army. Everard Wyrall's extensive military histories include four divisional histories, seven regimental histories, a battalion history, and a RFA howitzer battery history. His history of the King's Regiment (Liverpool) is particularly noted for providing "an enthrallingly interesting narrative" that gave the Regiment a "War Memorial more lasting than stone" (Prof. John Bourne, The Western Front Association, 2022).
