Just one thing the AVL-18 for Greater Accrington has hundreds of errors.
There never was a 4th Reserve East Lancs, the two reserve Battalions for the East Lancs Regiment were the 3rd E.L. & the 10th which became the 47th Reserve 10th Brigade in 1916. The 40198 No. suggests early 1918 for the East Lancs.
