Cpl. George Moore Burrow 6th Btn. Loyal North Lancashire Regiment (d.9th Aug 1915) I have found a few letters from my great grandmother, Mary Burrow, sent to Preston Barracks, Lancashire, concerning my great grandfather, Corporal George Burrow. The first concerns papers covering marriage and children and she mentions he is stationed at Blackdown Barracks. The second letter is after he was posted missing in action in Gallipoli. They are very moving as she pleads for help of any news regarding his whereabouts.

Pte. Arthur Farrand DCM. 6th Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment "12006 Private A Farrand, 6th Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. For conspicuous gallantry on 27th November 1915 at Chocolate Hill, Gallipoli Peninsula, when, after being partially buried by a shell, he extricated himself and at once went to the rescue of two comrades and extricated them under heavy fire." The London Gazette.
I'm proud to say Arthur Farrand is my grandfather. I'm sorry to say I never knew him,or the honour he bestowed on my family until recently. I would love to have had photos, stories or medals to pass down to my grandchildren in remembrance to his gallantry in action.

Mjr. Oswald Austin Reid VC. 1st Btn. King's (Liverpool) Regiment Oswald Austin Reid was 23 years old, and a Captain in the 1st Battalion, The King's (Liverpool) Regiment, British Army, attached 6th Battalion, The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment when he was awarded the VC.
"On 8th/10th March 1917 at Dialah River, Mesopotamia, Captain Reid consolidated a small post with the advanced troops on the opposite side of the river to the main body, after his lines of communication had been cut by the sinking of the pontoons. He maintained this position for 30 hours against constant attacks by bombs, machine-guns and rifle fire, with the full knowledge that repeated attempts at relief had failed and that his ammunition was all but exhausted. It was greatly due to his tenacity that the crossing of the river was effected the next night. During the operations he was wounded."
