Hi Steve.
First off Lawrence was never a Pal.
His first posting was as Pte. 28679. 2nd East Lancs
Wounded in the hand in March 1917. On recovery he was
transferred to the Kings Own Royal Lancs as Pte. 28869.
D.O.Wnds 1-Oct-1918, buried in Greviller Cemetery.
S.D.G.War records him as Pte. 28859. K.O.R.L.
Only his service records would give dates of transfer and they don't exist.
He is on Accrington War Memorial and Cambridge St Wesleyans War Memorial.
