Volunteers converged on Birkenhead Town Hall on 30 November 1914 to enlist in the nation's first Bantam Battalions for men between 5ft and 5ft 3 inches tall. The Birkenhead Bantams, as they were known, were adopted by the War Office in 1915 and became the 15th and 16th (Service) Battalions of the Cheshire Regiment. This community remembers the Bantams who served in the 16th Battalion.
