Re: World War 1

Couldn't resist. Looked on Ancestry. There's a medal card for Hermon P. Hodgkinson showing both E. Lan. R. Pte 37775 and N. Staffs R. 43340. There's also a North Staffs Regiment Roll for Hermon Pearce Hodgkinson showing the same two regimental numbers. No service or pension records found though.

Re: World War 1

North Staffs Medal Roll shows 1st Garrison Battalion but only regimental number shown for East Lancs so can't help there.

Re: World War 1

Walter, can you please assist with the following:
Private William Stuttard 24040 Royal Lancasters
Private William Stuttard 242116 East Lancashire Regiment.
I can find no further information on either.

Re: World War 1

Private William Stuttard 24040 Royal Lancasters
I do not have any information on these men they are not Greater Accrington Men.

From the East Lancs Records the two men below both served in the 1/5th East Lancs.
Have you tried the Burnley Web site they may have come from there
Private William Stuttard 242116 East Lancs.
Private H. Stuttard 1653 East Lancs.

Re: World War 1

Hi Walter,
Do you have any info on a Thomas James Lingard of the East Lancs?
He was the brother of my Gt Grandad. It says on a Pals website that he was born in 1895 but really he was born in 1898 so must have lied about his age in order to sign-up.
Thanks,
Steve
