Record of Non-Commemoration Research - Lost Battalion of the Manchester Regiment

[Tim Bell]

After all the work in researching the non-comms, I've compiled an eBook on the Forgotten Battalion of the Mancheter Regiment.  To be quite honest I doubt many people will read the document, yet the work with Mack, Paul C and others has been a real priviledge. 
IFCP needs a credit.  Terry Denham kept me on the straight and narrow and saved wasted money on DCs. Chris Harley has also been excellent in finding burials that we couldn't discover.
When we have adjudications and new commemorations, we'll see a tangible result of our efforts and new headstones all over Manchester and beyond.  The job will then be more complete as soldiers who died more than 100 years ago will at long last be granted the status and recognition they deserve.
Any feedback appreciated.
Due to limits on self-publishing the eBook is split into 2 volumes
Volume I https://issuu.com/battlefieldsleuth/docs/forgotten_battalion.docx
Volume II https://issuu.com/battlefieldsleuth/docs/forgotten_battalion.2.2023.01
Thanks to Mack for encouraging the research, detailed previous non-comm experience and springing up new cases from nowhere.
Cheers
Tim

Tim, its a great piece of work - well done. It is also a fitting „memorial“ to those who, for what ever reason, will never be officially commemorated.
How about making a separate locked sticky with just the link in it, to give it more exposure.

Well done Tim and mack, brilliant research and a fitting tribute to the missing.

Aplogies to everyone for dominating the forum with the fresh applications for commemoration.  These are soon coming to a conclusion, as I'm running out of cases where a review would be positive.  Mrs B will then let me out to spend my beer money on beer again. 

Hoping we'll see some more approvals coming though in the enxt few weeks, as well as some graves being adopted and new headstones erected.  Some private memorials have been adopted but no CWGC headstones - as far as I know.

The forum may be interested in the map of the future commemorations I've been using for the eBook.  With 18 at St Joseph's, 17 at Southern and Phillips Park and 13 at Greenacres, it will be very satisfying to revisit these places in the - hopefully - not to distant future.  Here's the link - https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&mid=1lQjOi_I43B6GogjsOgIcxCISeCsCUUJ8&ll=53.48631578998901%2C-2.0905624942074152&z=12

The eBook became too big for Isuuu self-publishing. Now saved as one volume in Google Docs https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vE8lXbGQMyelGw4n0pWQDnxLNoM7gcRC/view?usp=drive_link
