If they did go with a party, and if you have any docuymentation about it, please pass the information to Accrington library

A number of them, those in there 20's & 30's, returned to England to enlist in the forces.
Also a large local contingent who emigrated to Canada, I've found the service records of over 70 men who were born in Greater Accrington & served with the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
Retlaw.
