Thanks Eric, thats certainly colouring the rainbow, in a way your correct, but not all the info is in the library, a lot can be found there, name rank & number, to get a picture of their lives, then you wil bve searcingthro every newspaper in the towns and villages that they lived around Acc. Blegburn, Gt Harrud, Whalley, Burnley & Colne, Chorley & district, an if you want more, then ids round an round the public record offices, then again rainbows are only fleeting, & if you read the list of sources, it won't illuminate all of them. But theres another way, if they are after a particular soldier, why not just ask, an if its just for you and family, I'll tell you.
Eric have a slug of your favourite brew on me.
