WW1 and Westhoughton

The Westhoughton Local History group has produced a number of powerpoint presentations about aspects of WW1 and Pam Clarke has written an authoritative book on the subject. These powerpoints and the book deliver a comprehensive record of the contribution that Westhoughton people made to WW1 and the subsequent impact of WW1 on the town.
