I didn't see the programme but will now watch it on the catch up as it sounds interesting.

It's a shame they did not credit Bill Turner for his years of research as I had the pleasure of working with Bill on certain projects and he certainly was a man with a mission on recording not only the Pals but also the men from Haslingden who died in the 2nd World War and also the history of the men who died from 2 parishes in Haslingden in both world wars.

Funnily enough I have a copy of the Songs of Praise that came from Accrington about the Pals and last week had it made into a DVD from the video and really enjoyed watching it after all this time.
