I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to look up in SDGW to see all 1/4th Loyal North Lancashire men listed as 'died' during April and May 1915.

I do not think there will be too many and it may help to identify a funeral picture I have.

Thanks very much.

John.

Very many thanks Andrew. This narrows down a picture of a oldiers funeral I have to 2 recipients.

I will look at their death certs to confirm location of death as the picture was taken in Bedford and the LNL were only in the town for the period I mentioned.

Cheers.
