Manchester City Battalions
Search around 11,000 records of men who served with the so-called 'Manchester Pals' battalions: the 16th (Service) Battalion, The Manchester Regiment to the 23rd (Service) Battalion, The Manchester Regiment (inclusive).
The formation of the brigades was recorded in a collection of platoon photographs and lists. This set of records consists of an index of the names taken from these lists. Each name is linked to the platoon list in which it appears and to the corresponding platoon photograph.
One of the benefits of these fantastic records is the photographs they contain – the image on the right is a sample from the records. The photographs aren't named so won't tell you exactly which man is your ancestor, but they do provide a rare and compelling insight into the battalion he served with.
