Burnley In The Great War
The industrial towns of East Lancashire
sent many thousands of their sons to fight in the Great War,
many of whom served in the East
Lancashire Regiment, and paid the price accordingly. This
site honours the men from Burnley and District who served in
this terrible conflict, and also aims to show the effect of the
war on the town.

Friends of The British Cemetery, Elvas,
Portugal
The
British Cemetery, Elvas, commands a fine view over the plain to
Badajoz in Spain. It is one of the oldest British Military
Cemeteries in existence. It holds only five known graves but two
of these are the only marked graves of the thousands of British
soldiers who fell at the Battle of Albuera and another is the
sole marked grave of the thousands who fell in the three sieges
of Badajoz.
The Friends of the Cemetery
aim to commemorate all the British Regiments that fought in the
Peninsular War battles of Albuera and Badajoz, including the
30th (later The East Lancashire
Regiment) and 4oth (later
The South Lancashire Regiment). |
