A memorial to the Liverpool Pals who served during World War One unveiled by Prince Edward on 31 August. It follows a three-year campaign by the Liverpool Pals Memorial Fund to create a permanent tribute to remember the men and boys who volunteered. The £85, 000 frieze was designed by Liverpool sculptor Tom Murphy, whose other works include a statue to former Liverpool FC manager Bill Shankly. Later there was a re-enactment of the Liverpool Pals signing up to answer Lord Derby's call for recruits 100 years to the day it happened. Retired Lt Col Anthony Hollingsworth, chairman of the Liverpool Pals Memorial Fund, said: "It will allow everybody to share the proud history of the Liverpool Pals, who were the first of all the famous Pals battalions and the last to be stood down." The memorial tells the story of the Liverpool Pals through a series of dramatic images, from their formation through to their farewells, scenes from the battlefield, their return from war and the commemoration this year. In 1914 Lord Kitchener issued his first call to arms for 100, 000 volunteers, aged between 19 and 30 to enlist in the army. Gen Henry Rawlinson initially suggested that men would be more willing to join up if they could serve with people they already knew. Lord Derby was the first to test the idea in Liverpool. “This should be a battalion of Pals, a battalion in which friends from the same office will fight shoulder to shoulder for the honour of Britain and the credit of Liverpool. I don’t ask you to uphold Liverpool’s honour it would be an insult to think that you could do anything but that, but I do thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming here tonight and showing what is the spirit of Liverpool, a spirit that should spread through every City and Town in the Kingdom. You have given a noble example in coming forward. You are certain to give a noble example on the field of battle”
