Northern Soul Posted 29 August , 2006 Share Posted 29 August , 2006 Malcolm, I'd be grateful if you could look up the following men for me, all employed by the Furness Railway. I already know their regiments (from the memorial) but have never been able to identify them so if there are any additional details it would be really useful. J. Dawson (East Lancashire Regiment) R. Walker (Manchester Regiment) Best wishes. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hartley Posted 1 September , 2006 Share Posted 1 September , 2006 hows the fly fishing going The durability of the Yellow Pages advert never ceases to amaze me. It was made in 1983. And it's still about once a month that someone, such as yourself, comes across my name and inital and makes some reference to it. Laugh? I nearly pissed myself.
