I doubt they would be much information anyway, as it predates Accrington Stanley (1921) pre that is Stanley villa or even Accrington, so cancels out ww1 connections, with that in mind it's feasible that ww2 would further more connections, I'm sure I gave read up somewhere :)

Breedon Book quotes "the 1914-15 season was the last in peacetime football and Stanley finished in 6th position. The outbreak of World War One saw the men of Accrington answer their country's call. The formation of the East Lancashire Regiment which became known as the Accrington Pals and the fate they met is well documented ...."

I think it is likely that many of our players met their fates over the coming months but as team documentation is thin on the ground I would imagine it will forever remain speculation.


maybe one of the mods could separate these posts from the main thread as it could run and run as more info comes to light?
