CEMETERIES, MEMORIALS AND MEN
The battalion which was almost destroyed before Serre on 1 July 1916 rose again to continue to fight, with honour, throughout 1917 and 1918.
The complete nominal roll, and medal returns, of the Battalion totals more than 3,600 names. This is over three times the number of ‘original Pals’ who enlisted in September 1914. This illustrates more than anything else the rate at which casualties and transfers etc. were replaced during four years of war
At least 846 Pals and former Pals died on active service. Of these 471 lie in graves in 101 different cemeteries scattered throughout northern France and in Belgium. A total of 318 are commemorated on seven memorials. Others, including Pals transferred to other East Lancashire Regiment battalions or to other regiments for a variety of reasons, lie in Iraq, Egypt and Greece. Prisoners of war are buried in Germany and Holland.
It could be said that 846 is a minimal number. The number of those who died after the war, because of wounds or the effects of gas etc. is, of course, unknown. This ‘death rate’ continued even into the 1960’s. All these men were buried in private, family, graves.
The following lists state (Part One) the cemeteries in which Pals and ex-Pals are buried. Each cemetery is in alphabetical order and numbered accordingly. The total numbers of burials in each is also shown. Memorials are shown by an initial letter.
Part Two lists each soldier’s name together with a letter or number to indicate the cemetery or memorial.
The symbols used on the maps are:
■ Cemetery where a Pal is buried
□ Cemetery where an ‘original’ Pal is buried
▲ Memorial listing a Pal
∆ Memorial listing an ‘original’ Pal
