PREFACE The purpose of this book is to supply to the people of Preston and district, for the first time, a complete and authentic record of the adventures of their original local Territorial Infantry Battalion during the Great War, such a record being a chapter of local history which must sooner or later be written ; to put into the hands of the relatives and friends of those who have gloriously fallen the story of the unit with which they served faithful \into death, with its accompanying tribute from their surviving comrades ; to supply to the latter- maimed or whole a book which they may hand down to posterity to speak of their service ; and last, but not least, to speak to those who shall succeed to our traditions, of Comradeship, Cheerfulness, Endurance, Devotion to Duly, and all the virtues which go to make up " the Spirit of the Regiment." The delay in publication has been unavoidable, and even now the book IS not as complete as its ccmpilers would wish ; in particular, it is not possible to give the names of casualties as they occurred, except in the case of Officers ; both Company and Battalion records have had to be destroyed again and again, and there is little material left to work on except the War Diary and individual diaries. The book is a live product. Every line of it is either written by those who were actually with the Battalion during the period of which they write, or is condensed from the War Diary. It would have been far easier, and, from a literary point of view, more satisfactory, to have handed over the documents to a professional Historian to write up, but it was felt that the vivid descrip- tions of eye-witnesses, even though lacking in style, were preferable to any such compilation.

III \jL-^.u-<,^ iiyy I CHAPTER I. Early History and Training in England. The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment has a peculiar history, being descended from the old 47th, the Lanarkshire* Regiment, and the 81st, the Loyal Lincoln Volunteers. In 1881, when these two Regiments were at their Depot at Preston, it was found convenient to amalgamate them, and they became the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the North Lancashire Regiment. The Lincolnshire men were not pleased at having to drop the epithet " Loyal " (conferred on them")" in memory of an occasion during the Peninsular War when, on volunteers being told to step one pace forward, the entire Battalion moved forward one pace), and they placed their views before the War Office, with the result that the new formation was allowed to retain the epithet, and it became the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. This little outline of its history explains why the 1st Battalion's March-past is " My love is like a red. red rose," generally known as the "Red Rose," and the 2nd Battalion's "The Lincolnshire Poacher." A Volunteer Rifle Corps was formed in Preston in 1839 as a consequence of the talked-of possibilities of a French invasion. This Corps continued in existence as a Volunteer Corps until the territorialisation of Regiments about the year 1878, when it became a Volunteer Battalion of the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment ; later, on the formation of the Territorial Force it became the 4th (T.) Battalion of the same Regiment. This Territorial Battalion succeeded to the traditions of the amalgamated units, and strove as best it might to emulate its Regular Battalions, but the Territorial scheme did not produce the full complement of officers and men, and it should be realised that those who served in it prior to the war did so in the face of a certain amount of ridicule, gave up nearly the whole of their spare time to camps and drills, and in most cases were seriously out of pocket over the whole business. With the exception of a Company which was sent to South Africa to reinforce the Regular Battalion, the unit had not seen active service prior to August, 1914, but those who then belonged to it were keen, and had, in the face of discouragements, done their level best to master their job. The beginning of August, 191(, found the Battalion, under strength in officers and men, in camp at Kirkby Lonsdale. When war was declared on the 4th of August, and the Territorial Force was embodied, the 4th were hurriedly recalled, and took up their quarters in the Public Hall, Preston. Within two or three days they had recruited to strength in all ranks, and had volunteered, practically 'Changed lo " Lancashire in I7.SI when thi-y were sent to thai Countv to recruit. tAccordinc to tradition to a man, for service abroad. Photographs of the original roll signed on that occasion will be found immediately preceding Chapter I. That first fortnight in the Public Hall will never be forgotten by any of those who went through it.

  • Burnley RUFC Receives Queen's Award For
    BELVEDERE AND CALDER VALE SPORTS CLUB THE QUEEN’S AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports Club are to receive The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service after being nominated for the award by Pendle MP, Andrew Stephenson. Belvedere & Calder Vale Sports Club, situated at Holden Road, Reedley on the border of Burnley and Pendle, is a community based sports organisation. It was formed 63 years ago by the amalgamation of Calder Vale RUFC, (now Burnley RUFC); Burnley Belvedere Football Club and Burnley Belvedere Cricket Club. In 1957 a small committee of businessmen who were sportsmen involved in the three sports raised funds to buy a 6-acre plot of land to build a clubhouse with changing rooms and pitches to provide amateur sport for the local community. A further purchase of land to accommodate an additional football pitch and rugby pitch, with extensions to the original building, was made in later years to enable it to become the Club as we know it today. It provides facilities for the three sports across many age groups, genders and ethnic groups in the boroughs of Burnley and Pendle. It also supports the local community by making available its clubhouse facilities and sports grounds for a variety of uses. These include the meeting venue for Pendleside Rotary Club and Burnley Soroptomists Club, a Polling Station and the site for various local health initiatives. An Annual Christmas Carol Concert is held when funds are raised for Pendleside Hospice & Pendle Youth Orchestra. Its 12 acres of open space, with four sports pitches and a cricket square, are criss-crossed with public footpaths and a stretch of spring water-fed wetland which supports a wildlife environment.

    C w M 2781 w E w C .c HISTORICAL c h n o NEUROSCIENCE s ic .o e Duchenne De Boulogne: A Pioneer in rg Neurology and Medical Photography André Parent ABSTRACT: Guillaume-Benjamin-Amand Duchenne was born 200 years ago in Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais, France). He studied medicine in Paris and became a physician in 1831. He practiced general medicine in his native town for about 11 years and then returned to Paris to initiate pioneering studies on electrical stimulation of muscles. Duchenne used electricity not only as a therapeutic agent, as it was commonly the case earlier in the 19th century, but chiefly as a physiological investigation tool to study the anatomy of the living body. Without formal appointment he visited hospital wards across Paris searching for rare cases of neuromuscular disorders. He built a portable electrical device that he used to functionally map all bodily muscles and to study their coordinating action in health and disease. He gave accurate descriptions of many neuromuscular disorders, including pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy to which his name is still attached (Duchenne muscular dystrophy). He also invented a needle system (Duchenne’s histological harpoon) for percutaneous sampling of muscular tissue without anesthesia, a forerunner of today’s biopsy. Duchenne summarized his work in two major treatises entitled De l’électrisation localisée (1855) and Physiologie des mouvements (1867). Duchenne’s iconographic work stands at the crossroads of three major discoveries of the 19th century: electricity, physiology and photography. This is best exemplified by his investigation of the mechanisms of human physiognomy in which he used localized faradic stimulation to reproduce various forms of human facial expression.
