I didn't misread whats going on, I know a lot more of whats behind all this than you. I have already discuss the anniversay's of the Pals with the Library Staff & Haworth Art Gallery.
Mr Bond is trying to promote himself as a Pals expert, when he has done very little research into the Pals.
There have been several so called Pals experts coming out of the woodwork in the past few years, all of them trying to get their hands on Bill & my files.
Bill never used to swear or curse, only ever heard him once, and that was when I mentioned certain peoples names in connection wth the Pals.
My files now contain over 4000 names of men who served in the 11th East Lancs, got over 900 sets of service records, and now aproaching 3000, medal Records. I also have several hundred pictures of the Pals which are not part of the William Turner Collection.
Retlaw.
