Dean From Leeds Posted 30 January , 2019 Share Posted 30 January , 2019 Can anyone please let me know of any books about the Leeds Pals other than Leeds Pals by Laurie Milner, Leeds Pals by Stephen Wood and Leeds Pals a researchers handbook? I am trying to find more information about my Great Uncle George Henry Hitchen 15/1772. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkley remembers Posted 30 January , 2019 Share Posted 30 January , 2019 (edited) Can't help with any further books but you could try Leeds Central Library on The Headrow. The Liddle Collection, Leeds Uni., Brotherton Library, Woodhouse Lane, has quite a lot of resources and their catalogue can be accessed at explore.library.leeds.ac.uk/special-collections-explore/Liddle%20Collection?selection=Liddle%20Collection&query=leeds%20pals&browseQuery=Search&c. Likewise West Yorkshire Archive Service has a number of items relating to the Leeds Pals and agin their catalogue can be accessed online http://www.catalogue.wyjs.org.uk/calmview/Overview.aspx Don't know if you are aware but George Hitchen is mentioned here leedspalsvolunteerresearchers.wordpress.com//?s=hitchen&search=Go Yorkshire Evening Post 7th Aug 1916 Edited 30 January , 2019 by ilkley remembers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
