Just finished ruutin thro my Greater Accrington Heroes for them as won a medal, sumat our Rusty, the eldest doughter wanted tu know.

234 won a medal, of them 40 got the D.C.M. 17 of them got the M.M. as well, and 1 man got the D.C.M. the M.M. and a bar to his M.M. Most of em didn't like talking about what they did.
One of them, his mates were being hampered wi jerry snipers, so he crept out wi a few grenades, and his trusty rifle, killed all three.

Now them are lads you don't argue with.

It states that it will not be published, in previous posts, nothing to do with me knowing best.

What is this about excuses?
Walter has stated quite clearly that his work will not be made public so when he is no longer able to provide answers, the source will no longer be accessible.

I believe he mentioned that his family would be the holders & maintainers of this knowledge for future generations.

Our Ali has said she will take over when I've taken over Satans job, in fact I have a big R-O-Hnr to the Pals, I designed it for Bill Turners 90th exhibition in 2006, I was gonna burn it, but Ali says she wants to put it up in her lobby when she's finished decorating, as for my books, they will go to Luke my grandson when he's old enough to appreciate them, Ali will be the guardian. If I thowt there was any danger of them going into the library for the gob ****es to abuse, I'd take em out back an burn em, an all the cries and woes, or other moans doesnt mean a thing to me, When I was a pattern maker by the end of my apprentice ship I had just about got used to seeing things I worked on so painstakingly, destroyed by cack handed indifferent moulders, I gioer bothering, whats finished is done, went tut gaffer fort next job.
I did all this for my entertainment as a HOBBY, how many times do I have to say it, hobby, I'm inquisitive and I wanted to know, not because you wanted to know, I have to solve puzzles and find answers. End off.

Can I just add, Walter no-one has any desire on you popping your clogs or meeting any makers, long may you enjoy your hobby.
