"I was looking through the website the other day and was curious to see if there was a record of my father.
Sure enough he was listed :

He never spoke much about the war and died when I was only thirteen.
But I do recall that he started working life as a chauffer to a well to do Burnley family and when he joined up (I think in 1914) he thought the Army might have put him to driving the top brass about. No such luck. In the Army's way of doing things they sent him to drive munitions trucks full of shells to take up to the Front !
After the War he returned to Burnley and with his brother Benjamin founded Turf Moor Garage next to the football ground. They sold the garage in the early 1950s and my father opened a sweets and tobacco shop in Parker Lane."
