I came across this great story whilst carrying out some searches. The story itself is interesting as it tells of Edward Tierney a Salford man who is attempting to cross the Atlantic in a boat built in a bedroom, but the claim by Mr W Matthewson that he joined the 6th Manchesters when aged 75 caught my eye. I would be interested to hear from anyone who could validate his claim.
