WE ARE RE-CREATING THE MARCH FROM THE WATCH FACTORY IN PRESCOT, WHICH WAS THE BARRACKS OF THE LIVERPOOL PALS, TO ST GEORGES HALL IN LIVERPOOL, WHERE WE HOPE TO RE-ENACT THE SPEECH WHICH LORD DERBY GAVE IN 1915.
WE WOULD LIKE TO ADVANCE EDUCATION AND FOSTER GOOD CITIZENSHIP FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, PARTICULARLY BY :
1. THE PROVISION OF A MEMORIAL OR MEMORIALS WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF THE CITY OF LIVERPOOL TO PERPETUATE THE MEMORY OF THE LIVERPOOL PALS (THOSE MEN FROM LIVERPOOL AND ITS ENVIRONS WHO FOUGHT AND DIED DURING THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-18 AS THE 17TH, 18TH, 19TH AND 20TH (SERVICE) BATTALIONS OF THE KING'S (LIVERPOOL) REGIMENT AND ARE COLLECTIVELY AND WIDELY KNOWN AS THE LIVERPOOL PALS);
2. THE UNDERTAKING OF RESEARCH AND DISSEMINATION OF ANY USEFUL RESULTS OF THAT RESEARCH;
3. THE ACQUISITION OF ANY APPROPRIATE ARTEFACTS;
4. PROMOTING THE APPRECIATION AND RECOGNITION OF THE LIVERPOOL PALS BY PROVIDING SPEAKERS FOR SCHOOLS, LOCAL HISTORY AND COMMUNITY GROUPS.
