BAMBER BRIDGE IN WORLD WAR 1
Bamber Bridge men in Royal Field Artillery
West Lancashire Brigades
Below is a list of men from Bamber Bridge who served in the West Lancashire Brigades of the Royal Field Artillery. Most of them served in 286 Brigade, "C" Battery.
​
There are 106 names in the list. I have included Dr Trimble as he was instrumental in establishing "C" Battery in Bamber Bridge.
​
The 'denom' column indicates which denomination the man belonged to:
61 of the men were from St Mary's (Roman Catholic, RC)
23 men were from St Saviour's (S)
15 men were from St Aidan's (A)
4 men were from the Methodist chapel (M)
A couple of men appear on more than one denominational roll of honour. Most of the men came from Bamber Bridge but a few came from the surrounding area: Francis Schultz, Bert Nickson, Tom Craven and William Molyneux came from Tardy Gate. Frederick Martin enlisted in the RFA in Bamber Bridge but lived in Walton Le Dale.
