Loyal North Lancashire Regiment
« on: Thursday 14 April 05 18:42 BST (UK) »
My great grandmother's brother Frederick Harling was killed at the age of 18 on the 30th of July, 1917 at Ypres and is buried there. The Commonwealth War Graves Commision (cwgc.org) says that he was a Private in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, 1st/5th Battalion.

Does someone know any sites about the LNLR or if there are any pictures/articles online which mention either the regiment or battalion.

I think there is a member here who has Boer War records, so if he was actually in that war they may be able to find him.
