Photo album of employees of the Manchester and County Bank who served

[vanessaldixon]

I own an old photo album, it is No 4 of 4 (I don't have the others) It contains the employees of the Manchester and County Bank who served in the Great War and contains notes on casualties, the branches are in alphabetical order P to W. It can be viewed on my Flickr page

I have added some additional notes when I have found further information on the men

Hope you find it of interest.

What a lovely photo album to own, and so kind to share it with us - thank you!

It would be nice if someone were to find a relative in the album whom they didn't have a photo of already.

Apologies if stating the obvious, but a few of the chaps from the Stockport branch can be found on the site of Mr Hartley of this parish...

Thank you for that, now those biographies have faces. I had been googling the names but hadn't got to Stockport, I've also have been getting info on the men from the Withington branch for a newspaper artlicle someone wants to write in time for November 11th.

What a great thing to own - it'd make a super research project for you, Vanessa.

I'm hoping that a (different) photo of Turton will appear in my forthcoming book.
