I owe my interest in Accringtons role in the First World War to my father, Maurice, with whom I made the first of many visits to the battlefields of the Western Front and beyond in the early 1970s.
Of those who have given generously of their time, help and knowledge throughout my work, I would like particularly to thank John Garwood, David Ingham, Mike Townend and the late Denis Otter.
For information on the Harwood family, the help given by Mike Harwood, Nin and Pen Harwood, Andr and Justine Gernez, Heather Fereday, Anne and Paul Willett, and Jayne Waring has been invaluable.
I am grateful to staff at the following archives for allowing me access to collections for which they are responsible and, where requested, for their permission to quote from documents: British Library, The National Archives, Royal Geographical Society, Imperial War Museum, Lancashire Infantry Museum, Royal Artillery Museum, Liddle Collection at the University of Leeds, North West Sound Archive, Accrington, Burnley and Chorley public libraries.
I should also like to thank all of the following who have contributed to this book, and apologize sincerely to anyone whom I may have inadvertently overlooked: Nelly and Jacquie Ainslie, Bob Ashton, Anthony Battersby, Peter Bell, David and Derek Bent, Enid and Stuart Briggs, Gillian Brown, Malcolm Bury, Ross Davies, Neil Erskine and Bindy Wollen, Elnora Ferguson, Tracey Gardner and Dorothy Parkinson, David and Barbara Gay, John and Honor Gorst, Gerald and Pam Hargreaves, Kit Harvey, Dennis Hounsell, Hardy Huber, Pat and Roger Kay, Judy Langton and John Sayer, Marjorie Lloyd-Jones, Jane Maclean, Barry McAleenan, Frances Morris, Diccon Nelson-Roberts, Steven Owen, Jane Ramagge and Michael Ritzema, Robert and Tony Robinson, Barbara Rogers, John Slinger, Walter Slinger, Sue Baker Wilson and Steve McGreal, Hannah Sloane, Diana Stockford, Ian Thomas, Terry Whittaker.
Last, but not least, special thanks go to my wife, Alyson, without whose help, encouragement, support, patience and cartographic skills this book could not have been completed.
While every effort has been made to trace and acknowledge the holders of all copyright material, I trust that anyone whose copyright I have unwittingly infringed will accept my sincere apologies.
