The Story of the 9th King's in France (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of the 9th King's in France
Difficulties immediately presented themselves, for the men had to be housed and fed. The first night the men spent in the Hippodrome Theatre, where the artists gave them a special performance in addition to the public performances. After wards sleeping accommodation was found in the Liverpool College. Through the kindness of the committee of the Newsboys' Home in Everton Road arrangements were made to feed the men. There were too many for them to be fed all at once, so that meals had to be taken in relays. At Headquarters there was a certain amount of congestion, for equipment, picks, shovels and other mobilization stores took up a considerable amount of room. Besides this there were collected at Headquarters civilian milk floats, lorries, spring carts and other vehicles which had been pressed into service as regimental transport. Horses with patched civilian harness gave the transport the appearance of a haywire outfit. After the officers had gone to the trouble of collecting this transport it was taken away by the Higher Com mand and given to another unit. The same fate befell the second set of horses and waggons. The third was retained.
