The St Helens Pals were a group of volunteers from St Helens, a town in Merseyside, England, who enlisted together to serve in World War I. Formed in 1914, they were part of the broader "Pals Battalion" movement, which encouraged men from the same community to join the army as a unit. The St Helens Pals served in the 17th Battalion of the King’s Liverpool Regiment and fought in several key battles, including the Battle of the Somme. Many of them faced significant casualties, highlighting the devastating impact of the war on local communities.
