The soldier was called Jim H Pilkington and was with the Scottish Rifles or Cameronians and lived at 7 spring Hill Rd Accringon. He was killed on 26th April 1917. He was remembered in the Observer on 26th May 1917.
His name is on Oak Hill memorial and the Arras Memorial.
I would think that makes him a PAL doesn't it?
I read the term Accrington PAL is a bit of a misnomer...
I have a couple of his posessions that his relatives may be interested in.....
