INGLETON – Recruiting
There was quite a rush at the eleventh hour to enlist under Lord Derby’s scheme, and the following presented themselves for attestation at the recruiting centres:–Messrs. W. Harper, E. Hutchinson, M. Whittam, J. Townson, W. Wilkinson, J. Wilson, J. Wilson, jun., H.J. Birkett, J. Fletcher, N. Monks, M. Ramwell, R. Wilcock, W. Burrows, W. Robinson, A. Sherwin, F. Brooks, W. Bradley, B. Lister, W.A. Longton, R. Jackson, W. Jackson, A. Tyas, T. Hutchinson, R. Robinson, W. Riding, T. Thompson, J. Thompson, J. Hutchinson, R. Fisher, F. Lambert, Jas. Townson, W. Clarkson, N. Preston, J. Hodgkinson, C. Barker, J. Batty, R. Foster, W. Emmott, J. Saul, W. Noble, Rt. Robinson, R. Sears, J. Slawson, J. Newsholme, H. Tomlinson, J. Ellis, C. Robertshaw, R. Farnworth, E. Coates, and N. Downham. Of these a dozen were rejected. The above list does not pretend to be complete, and the recruiting secretary (Mr. G. Walling) would be glad if any others who attested would forward their names to him, particularly as the authorities at Skipton have asked him to send in a list of all who have attested under the group system.
