"The Story of the '9th King's' in France" by Enos Herbert Glynne Roberts is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the experiences of the 9th Battalion of the King's Liverpool Regiment from its formation during the Volunteer Movement in 1859 through its significant involvement in World War I.

by the soldiers in the trenches as well as the camaraderie among them. The opening of the narrative introduces the formation of the 80th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers in Liverpool, which later became known as the 9th Battalion of The King's Liverpool Regiment. It highlights the initial enthusiasm of the volunteers, their recruitment process, and the early days of training, culminating in their mobilization in August 1914 as Britain entered the war.
