Retlaw - have you any information regarding my great grandfather, Arthur Beckett from Oswaldtwistle? He was in the reserves and called up during WW1 2/4th East Lancs. I have photos of him in his uniform. He survived the war and lived to the 1960s.
Also, any information on a Sergt. J Sharples of 1st Volunteer Battalion East Lancs Regt 'K' Clayton - le-Moors Company? I'm struggling to find any information about this man, but he must be somewhere in my family tree!
