More Liverpool Scottish Regimental Artefacts
The intention is to list some of the artifacts, some of which were in the possession of the Officers' Mess, the Sergeants' Mess or the Forbes Club (Junior Ranks) or held by the Museum.
There is a small but fine collection of interesting oil paintings showing officers of the early period in various forms of dress together with other watercolours and chalk drawings. A set of silk pipe banners of The Liverpool Scottish as a battalion of The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders exists together with the Colours presented to the Regiment in 1937. Other Colours are in Liverpool Cathedral and the Scottish National War Memorial. There are well sculpted War Memorials. Following the closure of Forbes House in Childwall, Liverpool, all these memorials have been removed to the newly located Liverpool Scottish Regimental Museum.
