The Liverpool University contingent of the Officers' Training Corps was formed in 1919 to provide military training for the students of the University of Liverpool. It occupied its own drill hall from 1928 and was re-organised on a faculty basis at the start of the Second World War but was re-unified again in 1955. At the turn of the century it was based at 128 Mount Pleasant in Liverpool but is now based at Crawford Hall in Allerton. Since September 2011 it has formed part of the North West Officer Training Regiment.
