Assuming they're Manchester men (and not from the surrounding districts) then I'm suspect no-one is going to be in a position to offer help for the next 3 months. Manchester's Central Library is closing for refurbishment and they're in the process of moving to temporary premises, opening end June/early July.

I've recently been going through some of the local papers and, whilst you seem to get the odd mention and photo of medal awards, it's fairly rare.

You could try the Manchester Regt Site, has one of the members as done a lot of research with the local papers;
