- The Liverpool Scottish, known diminutively as 'the Scottish', is a unit of the British Territorial Army raised in 1900 as an infantry battalion of the King's (Liverpool Regiment). Formally affiliated to the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in the 1920s, the battalion was transferred from the King's in 1937 with its identity preserved. The Territorial Army's decline in size since the 1940s first reduced the Liverpool Scottish to a company in 1967, then to a platoon of "A" (King's) Company in 1999. In 2006, the company was incorporated into the 4th Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. Service in the First World War was extensive. The Liverpool Scottish was one of the first territorial battalions to arrive in France when it deployed in November 1914. Approximately 1,000 of over 10,000 men who served with the Scottish died during the war. The first major battle of the Scottish during the war was on 16 June 1915 in what is officially known as 'The First Action at Bellewaarde' which was designed to pin down German reserves whilst there were British and French attacks elsewhere. This action is known in The Liverpool Scottish as 'The Battle of Hooge'. Hooge being a village a few miles East of Ypres in Belgium. The units' most highley acclaimed soldier was Noel Godfrey Chavasse (1884-1917) who during his time with the Liverpool Scottish earned two Victoria Crosses in World War 1. Chavasse is one of only three people ever to be awarded this decoration twice, and the only from this unit to achieve a Victoria Cross. Though not engaged in the Second World War as a cohesive unit, contingents were supplied to other battalions and the Army Commandos.
