thank you anyway , his name and number was given to me from an aunt who now lives in NZ she says she has a medal with that info on , i will have to get her to double check it

Re: World War 1
 

Couldn't resist. Looked on Ancestry. There's a medal card for Hermon P. Hodgkinson showing both E. Lan. R. Pte 37775 and N. Staffs R. 43340. There's also a North Staffs Regiment Roll for Hermon Pearce Hodgkinson showing the same two regimental numbers. No service or pension records found though.

Re: World War 1
 

thanks very much , how do we we find out now what battalion he was in

Re: World War 1
 

North Staffs Medal Roll shows 1st Garrison Battalion but only regimental number shown for East Lancs so can't help there.

Re: World War 1
 

Walter, can you please assist with the following:
Private William Stuttard 24040 Royal Lancasters
Private William Stuttard 242116 East Lancashire Regiment.
I can find no further information on either.

Re: World War 1
 

Can I add Private H Stuttard 1653 East Lancashire Regiment to the above query?

I have found a box of photos of WW1 servicemen in a cupboard at Green Haworth School (St Clement's Church). Many have names, but 6 have no attribution. Anyone have any idea who the unknown ones are? I am taking copies to the Heritage Centre in the Arndale.

Here they are:

Interesting pictures Thank You The last one Unknown 6 looks so young.

Re: World War 1
 

If they all had been in their 80's still too young for such hell.

Re: World War 1
 

Brilliant photo Mr Vicar. Thank you for showing us.

Re: World War 1
 

Hi Walter,
Do you have any info on a Thomas James Lingard of the East Lancs?
He was the brother of my Gt Grandad. It says on a Pals website that he was born in 1895 but really he was born in 1898 so must have lied about his age in order to sign-up.
Thanks,
Steve
