Welcome to the
Chorley Pals Memorial website
Raising funds for a suitable
memorial to the Chorley Pals - Y
Company, 11th (Service) Battalion
East Lancashire Regiment, who left
the town in February 1915 to fight
in World War One.
93 years on, the only memorial
to the Chorley Pals is a small plaque
in the trenches at Serre in northern
France, where so many were killed
or wounded on the first day of the
Battle of the Somme in July 1916.
Our aim is erect a permanent memorial
in Chorley Town Centre, to honour
their memory and ensure their sacrifice
will never be forgotten.
Please help make our aim become
a reality.
