Armistice Day in Liverpool.....

Remember the fallen marking Armistice day and the 100th anniversary of the start of World War1 at St Georges Hall, Liverpool.

As the nation remembers our fallen soldiers today, records reveal that seven soldiers from Merseyside were killed on the last day of the Great War.

Army records show that Herbert Hoggarth and John Lesbirel were two of those who were killed on November 11, 1918.

Private Hoggarth, the son of James Thomas and Ann Jane Hoggarth, was listed simply as being from Liverpool.

The 24-year-old was a soldier in The King’s Liverpool Regiment.

Private Lesbirel was from the Cheshire Regiment and was aged just 21 when he died. His mother Hannah lived at 152 Upper Mann Street in Toxteth.

Both men are buried at Terlincthun British Cemetery, Wimille, France.

According to the records there were at least 909 British and Commonwealth forces killed on the final day of World War I.

Among them were another five soldiers from Merseyside who were killed on that day.

The youngest of those was 19-year-old David McKie who was born in Southport. His parents David and Bertha McKie lived at 5 Rossett Avenue, Sefton Park.

Robert Cash, 23, son of Edward James and Sarah Cash, of Green Lane, Great Sutton, Birkenhead also fell on that fateful day.

Charles Rimmer, 38, lived with his wife Jeanette Ellen Rimmer at 46 Argyle Street in Birkenhead.

Records also how that George Arthur Barrow from Wallasey was mobilised for war on August 2, 1914. Britain declared war on Germany two days later.

The 26-year-old Lance Corporal, was the son of Elizabeth and the late Thomas Barrow.

Services were held throughout the region today to remember the victims of war on Armistice Day.

A two-minute silence was observed at 11am, as people stopped to remember the moment World War I ended – at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.

This year, 2014, marks 100 years since the outbreak of the Great War.
