Hello, I have just started to revisit research on My Great Grandad Ernest Percy Brown. He was a Soldier in the 158th Howitzer Bridage Accrington, kind of part of the PALS brigades that were set up at the time. I followed some clues given by Retlaw about his name appearing on the St Mary Magdalen ROH and they said they haven't got his name on there. I was just wondering if i had the wrong ROH? Could anyone advise how i might get a picture of the ROH Retlaw is refering to, or advise me who to contact, as i have already contacted St Mary Magdalen Church in Accrington but they sent a picture back proving there is no Ernest Brown on their ROH. I also thought you could only be added to a ROH if you had died in conflict, which he did not. so am i looking for something that doesn't exist? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
