Two reason's why you can't find Arthur Cheetham in Bills Book, & on that Web Site.
1 Arthur Cheetham ws not an original Accrington Pal
2 There are loads of names of original Pals missing from that web site, and several men who never served in the 11th East Lancs.

So far I have the names and details of 1698 original Accrington Pals, many of them were discharged before the list in the Accy Observer Feb 23rd was printed and 100's more who were discharged or transferred before they left for Egypt.
4292 men eventually served in the 11th East Lancs before they were disbanded in October 1919.
By the way Bill signed dozens of copies of his book
