The attached would be better., they are all Accrington lads, I've put their names on their chests.

Retlaw you know the pics attached to the song are not Accrington Pals, but we didn't know that...and I guess that whoever made up the slideshow to go with the song didn't know either.
This is your area of expertise. It is like me watching medical dramas and picking holes in the technical stuff.
We do it because we can, we have the knowledge.
I don't think you will agree with me on this one, but I don't think it matters overmuch that the pictures in the slideshow are not Accrington Pals(I think you are a purist and that is why you will not agree)but I think the song is still poignant and raises the memory of the brave young men.... that anything that does that is doing no disservice to their memory.
Just my opinion, expressed most humbly.
