Thanks Canuk.
I already know about medal cards, and the military records.
For the 11th East Lancs (Accrington Pals) I've collected 4167 Cards, there are some missing on Ancestry, so I'm making one for those, I've also acquired 1026 sets of their service records, I've downloaded all the service records which have survived the blitz of WW2. of my Accrington Heroes, 2629 sets, altogether over 30,000 sheets of paper, I waded thro for info. Then when I've finished prettying up the Pals Cards, for John in the library, my next quest is the medal cards for the Heroes, some 12 1/2 thousand of em, had a slight mux up recently, finished up seeing a specialist at Burnley, I think I were in better health than him. Hopefully, I'll have all their cards before I clock it.
