The Liverpool Scottish Regimental Association parade through the streets of Liverpool for the Last time as the Association is about to be disbanded. Heading for The Church of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas where they will receive the Freedom of the city. The Liverpool Scottish Regimental Association (LSRA) held its first meeting in the Men’s Canteen, at Battalion HQ., Fraser Street, Liverpool, on Sunday 24th August 1930. This was as a result of sundry notices in the Liverpool press enquiring about ex members of the LS Battalions. The name of Lt Col D D Farmer VC was proposed as chairman and unanimously elected to that office.
The title approved, at this meeting, was ‘Liverpool Scottish Ex-Members Association’ with subs of 1 shilling (5p). At the next meeting the title changed to ‘The Liverpool Scottish Battalion Association’ before finally being changed to ‘Liverpool Scottish Regimental Association’ on 9th October 1930. The Forbes tartan tie was adopted as the Association tie. Share and subscribe.

Being a Scotsman, that brought a tear in the eye and a lump to my throat. The pride and discipline these veterans have shown, whilst paraded through the streets of Liverpool for the last time, should never be forgotten . thanks Paul 👏

My father (like many from Merseyside), joined The Liverpool Scottish in 1939; just before war was declared. As part of the 51st HD, They fought Valiantly throughout the Africa Campaign and beyond! I never knew what these men really went through, until I myself became a combat veteran. Lest We Forget.

@@Bruce-1956 I'm not sure that he or many others were lucky as such...he made close friends, and even though spending the opening years around Ashby-de-la-Zouch, he had to witness the death of his two closest friends in the opening battle of El Alamein. Though the Liverpool Scottish (Camerons)/HD regiments, didn't land on the beaches of Normandy, they certainly didn't 'Dodge' D-Day! In fact, Sicily was the first established landing on European soil and the battles up until then, were arduous and hard fought. I have never been a prisoner of war, so I can't fully relate to that experience, or geographical campaigns where prisoner experiences differed. But if your post relates to Burma, where my Uncle Matthew was one of Wingate's Chindits, then without doubt, in relative terms, you could maybe count yourself 'Lucky'. War takes its toll in many guises, and even talking or writing about it can be quite emotional, as it is for me right now...but what is for sure, The Liverpool Scottish/Camerons, served our City and Broader Region with Great Courage and Resolve. Lest We Forget.

@@TheChickenLine I meant he wasn't at the surrender at Saint Valery where 10000 of his comrades were taken prisoner. My father enlisted in the RN in 1939 and was discharged in 1954 he never ever talked about his experience niether did my uncles. Only recently did I discover that one of our neighbours was one of the first British officers in Bergen Belsen.

I just finished watching this wonderful parade with a lump in my throat and fighting back the tears. As a Yank over the pond involved in 3 Scottish Pipe & Drum bands I have a close tie to Liverpool. My Father-in-Law was a Scouser who served during WWII. My older brother-in-law was born there, and my wife, the Scot descendant, has cousins still there that we have visited often. It is sad to see the unit disbanding, as my wife said another old tradition is gone as are some of the older establishments. The men and women looked sharp and they held their heads up with pride. Cheers to all.

Great documentation of historical value as they say it's the last time they'll parade in Liverpool. Shame that. I always find the bagpipes as a more stirring sound, even though i have no connection with Scotland. I'm proud of these Men & Women. Is it of coincidence or deliberate that they walk down James Street by the Queen Victoria monument? Given that historically King James VI of Scotland became "King James I of Great Britain & Ireland", in the union of crowns.

The Platoon was disbanded completely in 2014. The reason each time was the results of a government Defence review. So the reasons are down to the MOD deciding what was needed at the time. The Liverpool Scottish Regimental Association are going to go on at least until 2030.
