Robert B. Richardson was attested into the Liverpool Scottish in August 1914, and was one of the original contingent that sailed to France in November 1914 aboard the S.S. Maidan. Prior to the war he worked as an employee of Tate & Lyle Sugar Refiners, Liverpool. A group photograph which includes Richardson appears in the book Bravest of Hearts, by Hal Giblin.
