Raised in Birkenhead in 1914 the Bantams were unique as the average height of the volunteers was a mere five foot! Previously denied the opportunity to serve, these men seized this chance to join up. As a result the battalions comprised working class men from all over Britain – Welsh miners, sturdy London dockers, Lancashire mill workers and Merseyside laborers.
