It may alarm several webbers on here to learn that our primary age children are not taught a great deal of local history;indeed my 10 year old had been taught nothing about the Accrington Pals until she took a magazine article in about the Pals and asked why they hadn't studied the story. The following week thay had a guest speaker in school to talk about the Pals and had to do research about it as a project.I would give Gayle's project my approval if it helps to educate both adults and children about the Town's loss.
