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
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
Private William Stuttard 24040 Royal Lancasters
I do not have any information on these men they are not Greater Accrington Men. From the East Lancs Records the two men below both served in the 1/5th East Lancs. Have you tried the Burnley Web site they may have come from there Private William Stuttard 242116 East Lancs. Private H. Stuttard 1653 East Lancs. |

Here they are:  G Armstrong Wm Jno Barnes Henry(?) Bradshaw J Clark W Fifield Chas W Fish James(?) Hargreaves Geo W Hindle J Hindle L Jones Geo Lowden Edmund Pickup H Pickup Rushton Stowe Stephen Stowe Jno W Taylor Shepherd Whewell (?) Whittaker Jno J Whittaker unknown 1 unknown 2 unknown 3 unknown 4 unknown 5 unknown 6 |

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 |
