I have a set of WW1 medals from a veteran from Oswaldtwistle and an antique bottle associated with the "Pals" which I would like to donate to a local history club or enthusiast but id be worried Retlaw would end up putting them on his bonfire.
Sorry if ive gone over the top and Im sure I will get slated for this post however this is how I feel

Donate them to Accrington Library.
I wouldnt put anything that belonged to the Pals on a bonfire, I'm only refering to whats mine.
As I've mentioned in a previous post, whatever I have given to the library is printed on red paper, it won't photocopy. If people want the info, then they can spend the time writing it out, as I have done typing it.
I have just made it easier for them to find the information, which has come from dozens of sources.
Retlaw.
