We have donated this Roll of Honour to the Salford Local History Library. It will, hopefully, be available for future generations.

Hi Gary, what a fantastic find well done.
I see that my grandfather Frank Wright living at number 8 Freehold St is listed.A strange thing though is that living at number 14 Freehold St is a T.H. Wright. Now when I was a kid I also lived at no 8. My dad took over the house after his mother and father died. My dad was very young, and unfortunately His siblings were put into an orphanage. My grandfather lost his leg at Gallipoli.
I am now wondering if T.H. Wright living at number 14 was some relation to our family? . I am thinking that maybe he could have been! because when we lived in Freehold St in the 40s/50s my dads cousin lived at number 14. I have no idea what her maiden name was,but her married name was Dawson. All very strange. So much time has passed and no longer any of my family from those times are left that may have been able to help. Love to all, Ned.

The T H Wright shown as living at 14 Freehold St is I believe the following man; Thomas Henry Wright attested in January 1915 he gave his address as 53 McKenzie Rd, Lower Kersal. He joined the 7th Lancashire Fusiliers (number 3073) and transferred to the 8th King's Own Royal Lancaster regiment on the 04/08/16 (number 30092). Thomas had married Mary Ellen Hargreaves in 1915 and they had a daughter, Ivy, born that same year.
Went to France on the 27/07/16. Wounded (GSW right leg) 28/09/1918. Home 02/10/1918.
On demobilization he gave his address as 10 Freehold St, Salford.
