[Retlaw]

For the past few years I have been researching all the World War Soldiers, in what was then known as Greater Accrington, now called Hyndburn.

As the work has progressed, it has shown that there are 161 names missing from the local war memorials.

87 from Accrington
8 from Church
4 from Clayton
13 from Gt Harwood
2 from Huncote
37 from Oswaldtwistle's R-O-H.
10 from Rishton.
Accrington's Memorial has also the greatest number of mistakes, amongst these clangers besides spelling mistakes, five men are listed twice.
