Well they had better do something, there are 23 names missing from that War Memorial, some are recorded in St Huberts & St Johns Church, others are on the Gt Harwood Roll of Honour, one man who is missing a Thos McNamee, his brother William is on the memorial. Another missing man is
Joseph Rishton, he was an original ACCRINGTON PAL.

I just don't get it .... is it because of sloppy record keeping by the army? Or is it because original errors just keep getting repeated because folks don't bother to do the proper research?
When was the War Memorial constructed?
