My fathers brother was an original pal. If you want to know some thing, the saying is "The Horses Mouth" don't go talking to his arse.

Well, I've only just come across this pleasantry from Walter which, frankly, is abusive and completely unwarranted.
No one doubts that Mr Turner has done an immense amount of work on the Pals. I resent however the insinuation that my own contribution - the Pals website - is not based on original research. It is overwhelmingly so, some of the research dating back more than 25 years. Mr Turner himself is well aware of this.
