Welcome to the Chorley Pals Memorial Website

After 3 years of work, and the tremendous support of the people of Chorley, the memorial to remember the 222 soldiers of the Chorley Pals – Y Company, 11th (Service) Battalion East Lancashire Regiment who left the town in February 1915 to fight in World War One, was unveiled on Sunday 28th February.

Over 1000 people attended the ceremony in Chorley town centre to witness Chorley’s MP Lindsay Hoyle and Sister Francis Calderbank, whose father served in the Chorley Pals, unveil the new memorial.

We would sincerely like to thank the people of Chorley, the financial donors and everyone who has helped to make this permanent memorial to the soldiers from Chorley who went to war 95 years ago, many of whom did not return, possible.

We will remember them.
