The 20th Battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers, The 4th Salford Pals (Bantams)

By early June 1915 the 20th Lancashire Fusiliers were roughly 300 strong but recruitment received a welcome boost from a review which was conducted by Lord Derby in front of Eccles Town Hall during the evening of the 18th of June 1915. Consequently Eccles was again able to find another of its own companies, this time with Bantams, and Swinton also raised a strong contingent.
