Eillen, Received all the pictures, they are smashing. It is a pity that we are not closer to getting some more information on him. We shall keep looking. James Smethurst Attachments:

these men are all wearing three blue overseas chevrons,this photo was taken in 1918,the chevrons were not issued till 1918,if the photo had been taken in 1919 then they would have four chevrons,they look like regular army men of the RAMC,3 blue chevrons indicate going overseas in 1915

Hi Mack. Thanks for the info, It may be now that my James number was an earlier one going overseas in 1915. Also what a great site this is . I looked at the AVL for Ordsall and found my other Grandfather. THOMAS SHAW. 30 DALTON STREET. NUMBER 24323 18TH LANCS FUSILLERS. Would there be a picture of him in the Eccles Books.I have not got a pic of him he died in 1946. Thanks again for the info
Eileen

Eileen,
It is unlikely that a picture of Thomas was published in the Eccles Journal, they were only usually published if killed, died or wounds/sickness or badly injured. We shall keep a look out for any information that we may happen upon with regards to Thomas Shaw and James Smethurst.
I will send you an email this evening.

The church has recently been left some money in a will specifying that it is used to restore the memorial. The monies left cover approximately half the total quoted for the works. We have informed the church about the War Memorials Trust and have passed on all paperwork required for an application to be made.
