Andrew Jackson's new history tells the story of the Great War as it was experienced by the men of the 11th Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment (Accrington Pals), the 158th (Accrington and Burnley) Brigade, Royal Field Artillery (Howitzers) and their families. Using information gathered from years of painstaking research in national and local archives and in private collections, he reconstructs, in vivid detail, the role played by these men on the Western Front. His book, which draws extensively on diaries, memoirs and letters, follows both infantry and artillerymen into the British armys bloodiest battles of the war, giving a graphic close-up view of their experiences. It is a moving record of the wartime service of a select group of local men during a time of unprecedented conflict.

The First Battle of the Marne was one of the most pivotal battles in history. Fought outside Paris in September 1914, it turned the tide of the German invasion of France, and robbed Kaiser Wilhelm II of his best chance of winning the First World War.

At 7.30am in the bright sunshine of 1st July 1916, 700 men of the 11th Battalion, East Lancashire Regiment - the 'Accrington Pals' - advanced from their trenches before the fortified village of Serre. Seven days of ferocious British artillery fire had preceeded the first infantry of what was later to be known as the Battle of the Somme. The deep German dug-outs however, were relatively unscathed by the barrage and men emerged to the surface as teh British soldiers were advancing slowly across 'no man's land'. Within twenty minutes, 585 'Pals' lay dead or wounded, cut to pieces by a withering hail of machine-gun and shell-fire. Accrington was the smallest town in Britian to organise the raising of a full battalion, and the manner of its creation increased the sense of loss and tragedy for the East Lancashire communities affected - for the 'Pals' battalions consisted of men drawn from the same town, villages and workplaces. In this new and revised edition of his popular short book, Bill Turner pays tribute to the men of the 11th (Service) Battalion (Accrington), East Lancashire Regiment, who fought and died in the Great War 1914-18.

As long as he could remember, Albert had dreamt about leaving the slums of Accrington to find a better life to escape the relentless backbreaking drudgery of a life in the cotton mills-a life that had trapped his family for generations. Growing up, he thought hed find that escape in the army. He grew up amidst a strong family and surrounded by wonderful friends. As a young adult, Albert finally finds himself. He has everything a working-class young man needs-a steady job, a girlfriend, and the starring role in his football team. He has prospects, and life is looking up. Maybe he can find his way without resorting to the army. When war breaks out, along with thousands of other young men, Albert finds himself in uniform in the infamous Accrington Pals battalion. On the Western Front, he learns the true meaning of friendship and courage. Amid the carnage of the Somme, Albert must dig deep within himself to survive. On a fateful day in July 1916, Alberts youth comes to an end. He must come to terms with terrible loss and try to create for himself a new life, balancing hope for the future with heartbreaking pain. And he must do it without his closest friend-his lifelong pal, William. Albert becomes the reluctant hero-the one his pals turn to and rely on. Pals is a fictional account of one mans battle to grow up whilst coming to terms with the horrors of the First World War. At the Battle of the Somme, seven hundred Accrington Pals went into battle. Within thirty minutes, almost six hundred of them had fallen, almost an entire generation of men and boys from a small town.
