Jamesicus,

Fantastic stuff…This is part of the social record and an important part of our local heritage.

You should keep this up and encourage other’s to remember their actions in the war and those who severed the country in civilian life who also may have valid memories of the war and what it meant to those left behind.

Worst still the effects on the lives of those whose fathers, sons and brothers that fell and never came home.

There should be a permanent forum on the subject. The Great War should not be excluded. I know there is a lot of local reference to the Accrington Pals (and so there should be) but we should remember that some our grandfathers joined Regiments other than the Pals Battalions and must not be forgotten for what they did.
