Armed Services<br />
During the Great War the men of <strong>Horwich</strong><br />
proudly served in all three strands of the<br />
armed services, predominately within the<br />
Army. <strong>The</strong> list opposite illustrates the breadth<br />
of regiments they joined from across the<br />
United Kingdom and as far away as some<br />
Commonwealth Countries.<br />
After joining the Armed Forces, our boys<br />
where not only taken over to France, but<br />
to other conflicts around the globe. Some<br />
of these engagements are reflected in the<br />
names of their last resting place, such as the<br />
‘Basra Memorial’ in Iraq. A place that would<br />
have been unheard of by many of the soldiers<br />
and their families back in 1914. Sadly, in the<br />
21st Century the name Basra again became<br />
synonymous with two new wars in the Gulf<br />
for another generation of soldiers and their<br />
families.<br />
