Hi all, I’m pleased to say that after over four years of research our latest book ‘Two Towns Go To War’ is complete. The book tells the story of Irlam and Cadishead’s contribution to the Second World War. A summary of the book is below: - Title: Two Towns Go To War - Authors: Pete Thomas and Neil Drum - Two volumes - 1516 pages - Interviews with 28 local men and women who served in WW2 - 100s of photos - Collected stories from families of local WW2 veterans - Summary of weekly news reports from the Cadishead and Irlam Guardian throughout the war years - Tribute to Cadishead soldier Fusilier Simon Annis, killed in Afghanistan in 2009 - Price £15.99 (subsidised by the Hamilton Davies Trust – all proceeds to the Trust) If you would like a copy the books can be purchased directly from the Hamilton Davies Trust by calling in at Hamilton Davies House in Cadishead (Monday to Friday) or by post. Regards Pete Attachments:

Hi I know it's an old thread but I bought these two books when they were first published. I lent them to a friend last year who has finally admitted he has lost them. Are there any left that are sale or is it one of those where I hope they come up for sale second hand some time in the future? I will never be lending my local history books to anyone ever again...
