Lets hope they invite William Turners widow to this function.
Without the work Bill Turner did in bringing the "ACCRINGTON PALS"
to the publics attention, it wouldn't be called the ACCRINGTON PALS MEDICAL CENTRE.

They ignored Bill when they decided to give it that name, claiming there was no lasting Memorial in the town, completely ignoring the fact, that Bill had campaigned for over three years to get the Memorial erected in Church St.

I worked with Bill for over twenty years on his "PALS" projects, travelling with him to the Public Record Office at Kew, we spent nearly a month down there on and off, staying with my daughter who lives near there
