On the 1st of July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, the Liverpool Pals played a large part in the capture of the village of Montauban, the only truly successful attack by any division on the entire 18-mile British front that day. This is the story of the four battalions of Pals raised in and around Liverpool. They were the first and last of a kind, for they were the first Pals battalions to be raised and the last to be stood down, and in between they served on all the battlefields of the Western Front and North Russia. It is, as is true of most of the Pals battalions, a story of triumph and tragedy and, above all, of the perseverance of the British character in adversity.
