Liverpool Directory look-up 1908-1910 approx

[daggers]

If anyone has access to a Gores/Kelly's directory for Liverpool around 1908-1910, could they please look at the back pages where official lists appear. There should be a section on military organisations, possibly under 'Volunteers' or 'Territorial Force'.
If that is found, is there any mention of a unit called 'King Edward's Horse', and if so, where was their headquarters?

Many thanks
Daggers

That's great, thanks very much. The unit was an odd one, recruiting mainly in the old Dominions from ex-pats etc. It looks as though they had an office but no drill hall or similar.

Hi Daggers,
Looks like the Liverpool outfit was a small detachment with their headquarters being down south in London as at that time they were part of the Teritorial Yeomanry. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Edward%27s_Horse

Originally the 4th County of London Imperial Yeomanry (King's Colonials) formed in 1901 they were renamed in memory of King Edward V11 after his death in 1910.

I will pass that on to my contact who thought someone here might know more, he is a Scouser exiled in Crewe!
Mary is right, too.

Especially a man who can darn [remember that art?], sew his own buttons on, press his own trousers..... Ah those were the days..

Hi there
My Mother's mother was called Campbell and she married Edward Whittaker! Does this help you at all?
