Accrington Pals.
At 1815 hours 95 years ago, the Pals moved out of Warnimont Wood, and began their journey to the front, laden down with extra ammunition, Mills bombs, picks, shovels, and some with coils of barbed wire.
Their journey was a distance of seven miles through crowded trenches, and other obstacles, so much so that it took 10 hours before they were finally in place, spread out over a distance of 350 yards, in Mathew, Mark, Copse, Campion & Monk Trenches.
Awaiting their fate.
