Until Bill Turner wrote his books on the Accrington Pals, & poeple in other towns started to write books on their Pals Battalions, very few people had any interest in those Rolls of Honour & Memorials, it wasn't until the late 1990's that people started to take an interest.
By then it was too late, many Schools, Church, Chapels, Clubs etc had been closed or demolished.
Its only because a few, up & down the country, with similar interests in WW1, like Bill & I, that so many names are still known.

Retlaw.
