The Accrington Pals was a battalion of the British Army formed during World War I, consisting mainly of volunteers from Accrington and the surrounding areas. They were part of the 11th (Service) Battalion of the East Lancashire Regiment and were involved in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. On the first day of the battle, July 1, they suffered devastating losses, with over 700 of the 1,000 men either killed or wounded, marking one of the worst single-day casualties for a battalion in British military history. This tragedy highlighted the immense human cost of the war and the impact on local communities.
