http://www.1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/ Without doubt the finest World War 1 forum on the internet, the knowledge and helpful atitude of the pals on this forum never ceases to amaze me. A must for anyone with an interest in the Great War. Not a day goes by without paying this site a visit.
www.themanchesters.org/ For anything to do with the Manchester Regiment, this site is another with a knowledgeable and helpful forum. A special mention must go to Mack who's help has been invaluable.
www.wiganworld.co.uk/ For anything at all to do with Wigan
www.1914-1918.net/ The very first Great War website i ever looked at. The work of Chris Baker, anyone wanting information on the Great War, this is the starting point. The pinnacle of all Great War websites.
http://www.stockport1914-1918.co.uk/ This website gave me the impetus to press on with this project. Its author John Hartley has put in an amazing amount of work and research into it. And has always been most helpful.
Thanks to the following Organisations and Individuals.
The Wigan History Shop, Stuart Halliwell for the information and photographs on his Great Grandfather William Rowbottom. To everyone at the Liverpool Scottish museum. The Border Regiment museum in Carlisle. To the Wigan Observer newspaper. Leigh town hall, where a number of documents are kept. Also I recommend any book by Fred Holcroft a marvelous local author, unfortunately no longer with us.
